Limiting signature image width/height in MyBB

Paradox — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:06:22 +0000

This is a feature that is found in SMF, and a lot of MyBB users I know have asked about a similar feature. While this is not a simple preference pane value, it is easy to set up, and anyone should be able to do so. This is a simple process, and all it requires is [...] Related posts:
