Right, sig width isn't a problem as long as images have a reasonably small width, which we've almost never had a problem with. The content of the sig really makes a difference of how big it looks, the massive picture area in yours kinda makes it look bigger than Mormon's, but even that isn't a problem. Height is the only problem as far as size goes.

It should be limited based on a common screen resolution, which is usually 800x600 or 1024x768. I suggest making it so the sig and message can be the same height and both still be fully visible at a low resolution and a general browser view size, somewhere between 200 and 300 pixels would be a good limit.

I think there's one problem though, I don't believe there's an option to limit the sig by height, only by characters, and I don't think it would really be possible since images load after the sig is saved. We might need to enforce it ourselves, and I don't like the character limit because I could have a long URL to a small image or for a small hyperlink and I could hit the limit even if the sig height would only be 100 pixels (I've had something like that happen before).
