Hello everyone!
We are seeing many cases of signatures that are way too large or long lately. Most of them come from new members but some belong to members who have been around for a while too.
Do take a look at the sample in the HH Guideline 1.5 on the recommended sizes:

As you may know, signatures that are too large pose a problem to other members as they have to scroll a long way to read the posts underneath. This is about being considerate to others. If you feel that you have a lot of things to say about yourself, feel free to use your profile page to talk about them. There is no limit in your profile page. 
I have adjusted the forum settings to control the number of elements that are allowed in a signature. Will take some feedback here and fine-tune it accordingly.
Right now the settings are:
- Maximum number of images: 4
- Maximum dimensions of images: 460 px for height
- Maximum number of URLs: 2
- Maximum number of lines: 10
A good way to understand what's a good signature size would be this: If you have a large banner, put up only 1. If you have wide banners such as tickers, put up to 2. If you have icons or squarish pictures, put up to 4. You can mix and match, for example, 1 ticker plus 2 icons.
Let me know how well it works for you.
Love your hammies!
