Signatures Disabled - True?

Hello @Sarenia,

This message is to inform you that we edited your signature because it contained an image.

We have made some changes to the forum. The ability to upload images to forum signatures has been turned off. Text-only signatures are still allowed. They may include links.

2 hours later, I'm going through the forum and seeing a number of people with signatures still active.

Did I tick off some developer and they decided to hassle me, or has anybody else had their signature disabled as well? Because I'm feeling singled out right now.

    thats strange, my signature is just a placeholder until i get round to making a cool one, technically mine is an image but im still able to use it.

    No, you can have a signature, but it is text-only now. No images anymore. I presume because of the amount of people who are now using the forums.

    They weren't yanking your chain or giving you a hard time.

    Someone just posted with a signature.

    Third one I've seen in the past few minutes.

    Yes, just images supposedly got disabled.

    But they aren't. it appears ZOS_CarolusS manually deleted mine but left everybody else's intact.

    I was a prominent poster in that downtime thread and even got a direct reply from a ZOS_* so I figure I probably pissed in some ZOS rep's cheerios and earned myself a spot on the *** list.

    Incoming thread lock?

    When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

    My signature is also gone... because I had an image. My guess is they haven't gotten to everyone yet. Narrator, you're next!

    If they have some guy sitting at a desk manually deleting signatures one-by-one, they're doing it very wrong.

    ... That would also go to great lengths explaining the 12 hour downtime.

    Images are supposed to be disabled, anyone whose sig still has one is bugged now. Text is meant to be allowed.

    As did I. He must have seen my posts, noted my signature, and manually deleted it. Makes me feel singled out. If they were going to disable them, why not disable them all at once? Instead, only mine gets deleted, manually.

    I've been trying to get a responce from him for over 2 hours now, but he's deigned me unworthy. Like I said, I pissed in somebody's Cheerios.

    Poor form on ZOS.

    It just don't like me. I used the "[img]http:\\blahblah.image.com[/img]" BBCode but it said -
    "Images are not allowed in signatures. Remove them and save to keep the changes."

    My image sig got deleted after beta changed over, and when I tried to put it back, I get an error about not allowing images.

    uppercase BBCode works, but they'll manually delete it from your signature on sight.

    Personally, I'm going to start manually adding my signature to each post anyway. Signatures are very important to identify a speaker easily. If you build up a reptuation as a helpful, informative person, people instantly know by your signature that it's you.

    Otherwise, names and generic avatars all blend together and you barely notice who you're speaking to.

    If they ban that, I'll just stop using the forum. I may as well host an ESO IRC at that point and cut out the nonsense.

    No one is being singled out, but images are not allowed in signatures. The forum software mostly prevents this, but there are a few remaining cases where images are there.

    If we encounter a signature with an image, we'll remove it.
