Edit: oh and Transisto - your sig you made for that exact advert that you dislike, is now truncated, so you should be disbarred from the competition IMO

I'm following the contest rules, I really hope to win the Quad miner.

Please consider making it overflow : auto rather than overflow : hidden. That way if someone wants to view the rest of the signature, they can (it adds scrollbars as needed without losing the advantage of the size being limited). Just because someone doesn't want to see the whole signature doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

Also, I'd make the height relative (e.g. em or ex units), not absolute. Pixel units do not take into account the user's screen size and discriminate against people with visual impairments who may need to use a larger font size. Relative units allow the size to remain reasonable under different conditions.

I'm not very familiar with Web length units. What should I use to make it about 3 lines of default-sized text?

[TravisE]

I think max-height: 3em should normally match 3 lines. For some reason, 4em seems to come closer to exactly three lines in this case. Might be a good idea to test in a few different browsers to make sure it's consistent. But whatever the em value is, it should automatically scale to match the overall font size in use.

3em should be 3 lines of text, the extra 1em is for the line spacing probably.

Or not...

OK, I made it 4em and overflow:auto.

[theymos]

Actually, overflow:auto is annoying because my cursor occasionally ends up in a signature while I'm scrolling down a page and then my browser thinks that I want to scroll through the signature instead of the page. So I removed that.

[TravisE]

I guess the best solution would be some kind of “expand” button that makes the sig full size when clicked, but that'd probably be more complicated than a simple CSS style change. Thanks for considering, though!

It's not THAT bad, is it?

Not anymore  .

You can easily switch off signatures in profile. There should be some rules about signature size though.
