Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Ikadon Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Hello everyone, one thing my users missed the most was an easy way to upload a picture to their signatures. They way through other uploadsites is quite a bit messy and unnecessarily complicated. Now that you got rid of the avatars and streamlined the process maybe you could add an easier way to get images into ones signatures? Something along other forumsoftware would be great where you can simply upload pictures like you do with avatars/photos. Thanks for your attention. Kindest regards, Ikadon
minds Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 redefining how signatures work would be also a cool idea for 3.2, but yet I cant make a single suggestion how to handle that.
Rhett Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I would agree that there should be a signature image uploader in the settings area with permission based size and allow per usergroup
Luke Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I actually like that idea quite a bit. Since there has been no upload option for signatures people have to load remote images. If you had the option to disable remote images in signatures and had an upload feature where you could specify how many images can be uploaded and at what dimensions an admin could more easily restrict the size of a signature. (If remote images are allowed perhaps you could count them as images and set the css property max-height to each image. All the modern browsers support this).
Ryan H. Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 A more logical and verbose solution [although not allowing sig-specific restrictions like that] would be to integrate an upload/attachment process into the image BBCode popup in the editor.
Rhett Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 There needs to be signature specific limits like the following and it would be perfect imo Signature images under settings Allow remote images YES NO Number of total images __ Allow BB Code __ Allow Smilie Images YES NO Max allowed size _ _ _ X _ _ _ Total number of lines allowed __ this would be perfect imo
Rikki Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 There already are signature limits :) You can limit the number of lines, number of images, size of images and number of URLs.
Rhett Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 There already are signature limits :) You can limit the number of lines, number of images, size of images and number of URLs. I was referring to a new feature requested above for uploading sig pic, not the current system.
Jυra Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 If it allows me to edit the text after you add and upload, sure. If it just plops an image in a signature, no.
MathewA Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 There already are signature limits :) You can limit the number of lines, number of images, size of images and number of URLs. Could you please point out where this is, would love to limit signature image sizes. Thanks!

Could you please point out where this is, would love to limit signature image sizes. Thanks! Group setting.Signatures Disable members of this group from editing their signatures? Yes/No until (approved posts) Enter 0 or leave blank in second field to not limit by days/posts Maximum number of images users in this group can add to their signature Maximum dimensions of images users in this group can use in their signature Max Width (px): Max Height (px): Maximum number of urls users in this group can add to their signature Maximum number of lines users in this group can use in their signature

I'm surprised it doesn't have one already.
Lewis P Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Thinking out loud, but would the new "My Media" button not cover this?
Blind Bandit Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Thinking out loud, but would the new "My Media" button not cover this? That's a good question...
Blind Bandit Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Thinking out loud, but would the new "My Media" button not cover this? It would be nice to have an answer for this.... Dose anyone know. i can't tell from the media share blog for 3.2
bfarber Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 The my media feature would let you use files you have already uploaded in your signature, but does not provide an upload option for the signature field itself.

There is no option where it actually says, don't allow any signature bigger then 100Kb. Imagine users using 4Mb signature.
Blind Bandit Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 The my media feature would let you use files you have already uploaded in your signature, but does not provide an upload option for the signature field itself. Hmmm then it seems this would be a good feature. Its important to have an signature upload option and more control as others have mentioned.
Ikadon Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 Hmmm then it seems this would be a good feature. Its important to have an signature upload option and more control as others have mentioned. I agree. I mean it's not that hard to upload a signature with the new media-button but I guess many people won't understand how to get it into their signatures after upload.
Booth Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 This should be a standard feature in 3.2 in my opinion. It's a well used feature on VB.
Jυra Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Out of all the vB forums I've been on, I only recall one that used it.
Ikadon Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 Out of all the vB forums I've been on, I only recall one that used it. It's quite the opposite with me :)
Rhett Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Out of all the vB forums I've been on, I only recall one that used it. I use this feature on EVERY vb site I have personally as well as EVERY customer as well.... It's quite the opposite with me :) I agree, it's one of the features vb has done right.
Blind Bandit Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I use this feature on EVERY vb site I have personally as well as EVERY customer as well.... I agree, it's one of the features vb has done right. Agreed I use this feature when ever its available. I see that so IPS is pretty much ignored this.....
