That was my point boxedpixels. I may not do the upgrades myself, but it's a hassle for Patrick and the more hacks we add the worse it gets. This hack isn't needed and if people can't follow simple rules then they shouldn't be here.
I think the most important thing is not to have sites with content like vi+g*a and stuff in it, that can hurt the forum when it comes to rankings and stuff.
I like the rules that have been set, large signatures are unnecessary and annoying when you are browsing the site. 450x60 or smaller still allows users to create signatures for themselves without harming most users reading experience on the site. Good desicion.
