Maximum signature dimensions

Why is there a limit on the number of images?

In the past I had a zero signature that looked like one image but was actually one image split into 13 parts and carefully assembled with vbcode. I wasn't caught for having it, but I did not understand why 13 images which, when assembled, was under the maximum signature pic filesize and visible size, was technically unallowed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't see how layers prevents one from requiring multiple images.

In my cases I actually needed multiple links. Since vbcode doesn't have any kind of imagemap code, the only way to achieve the same ends is to split the image into smaller images and have different links for each image.

Behold, punk:


The intention was that people could click the various pieces of text at the bottom to rate me or reach my FTP thread.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't see how that would be slower. As long as the total size of all the images is less than 50KB, I imagine the difference in time it takes to download the signature for 56k modems would be negligible.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I didn't know it was a theory

Also, "shit" is so condescending. That was one of the best signature images of all time! I prefer, "13 pieces of win and good".
