Has anyone else noticed this? I've noticed that a lot of signatures are getting cut off at the bottom of the posts. Is this a problem with my browser, or a forum issue?

It's a forum change. We have a three-line signature limit (long signatures can get longer than the posts themselves, and can become a problem for forum viewing, especially when you're on a small device and have to manually scroll through to get to the next post), and we're trying figure out how to enforce that (a Private Message from a Moderator? Edit people's signatures for them? What if a member doesn't want to stay within the limits?)

We are playing with a way to have a pre-set limit fixed within the forum settings itself. I think we're liking the setting the way it is presently - it allows three lines - but we're finding that small devices (like my iTouch) only display two lines, and sometimes make a long line of text into two lines of text, effectively displaying only the first line of signatures.

Yet I think it's a complication we're willing to put up with so as not to have to deal with policing members' signatures, and creative people will find ways of getting their information to fit beautifully within the forum's limits.

I went in to fix my signature from 3 lines to 2 and then the formatting for my font was showing up as part of my signature. So I deleted that and tried it with just the normal font. Now it will only show one line rather than the 2. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like it fixed itself.
