I'm feeling a bit guilty now ... might have to have a re-design...

I'm with Steve on this, just didn't like to say anything!
The problem with restricting the number of characters in the sig is that it means you can't include invisible things like links, but doesn't cut down on the number of huge graphics.
The guideline on Usenet used to be that 4 lines was acceptable, 6 lines at a push, anything more than that was too much.
In this world of multimedia maybe we should say if your sig is regularly longer than your post, it's too long!
However, an easier solution to this would be to say - why not turn your signature off unless you think it contributes to the general discussion (eg, includes details of a vehicle you're discussing)? For example, I generally include mine if I'm starting a thread, but turn it off if I'm replying to somebody else's, unless I feel it helps to clarify a point I've made (eg by saying what vehicle I have).
I'm not trying to turn this into an autocracy, just promote thought & discussion!
(My sig below so I can see how long it looks...)
