Yes, I added javascript to crop signatures. It didn't seem to work so I left it. It seems from these reports that it does in fact work on IE but not the other browsers (that's a switch).
The size I used for testing was 600x200 pixels. The real size limit should be 600x300 which is where I just set it to. Eventually I'll figure out why this doesn't work on FF and fix it. The test I wrote worked great on all 3 supported browsers but when I pasted it into the live site it doesn't work with FF or Safari but does under IE6.
Now...
Yes, this is permanent. It has always been the limit but it was never strictly enforced. When sigs got way beyond average size a moderator would ask people to reduce it. Over time the average as grown and grown to the point when almost ALL signatures are huge and there are simply too many obese signatures to police manually anymore. Signatures consume more than 50% of any given page. That's more than the content!! We have one moderator who's sole function is to police signatures and that's ridiculous. Signatures are out of hand.
To restore some order signatures will be cropped to a size no larger than 600 pixels wide and 300 pixels high. If you make your signature larger than that you won't get a warning from a moderator it will simply be clipped. Our signature cop is getting his pink slip and creeping expansionism in signatures is at an end.
Signatures are a poor way to make a home page. If you want a home page to list all of your mods or post your favorite photos or quotations then I'll try to work something out so you can do that but replicating your home page at the bottom of every single post you make is just not workable.
I wish it were a membership thing but unfortunately giant signatures effect the content for everyone. When signatures become more than half the content of an average page we need to start placing limits.

OK, thanks for the update, Erik. Now I understand.
I can certianly understand the verticle limit. I browse at 1024x768 on my laptop, and when 1/2 of an entire page or more as just someone's sig, it's annoying.
Can I respectfully ask you to reconsider the horizontal limit though? The verticle space will be taken up anyway, leaving a blank area to the right of the sig all the way to the scroll bar.
