On Thursday evening we will be removing all signatures across the site. Don't worry, though! Most of you will be able to add yours back exactly as it is right now. The reason for this is because we have implemented a new set of restrictions for signatures. However, it's not possible to only remove the signatures that don't comply with those new restrictions without having to go through them all 1 by 1. Nobody has the time for that. So, at some point on Thursday evening (after 4pm EST), we'll dump them all.
If you would like to keep your signature exactly how it is (assuming it complies with the following restrictions) I recommend that you copy/paste it into a simple .txt file and save it on your computer somewhere until after the removal. Once removed, you can just copy/paste it from the .txt file back into your profile.
Here are the new signature "rules":
Just so you know, maximum displayed characters, is how many characters actually show up on the final signature. It does not count the BBCode characters.
The main thing is that you can still put links in your signature (to your bucket, etc) but images will no longer be allowed. Color, font, and font size changes will also no longer be allowed, but you will still be able to use bold, italics, and underlines.
