This is center. I am using the [center][/center] tags.

What does “the more must be thought out” mean? I just want to have text under an image that normally takes up all the space without needing ctrl+shift+down to read it.

Cool. Now do colors, bold, italics, center, strikethrough, underline, emoji, images, text size, scratchblocks, quotes, and lists while also keeping it scrollable.
Put quotes in [code]s and there are unicode fonts for strikethrough. And what's center?

Cool, now do colors, bold, italics, center, reliable strikethrough, underline, emoji, images, text size, scratchblocks, and lists

You know, [center] can't be scrolled, of course not, that would be stupid, and isn't it discriminating for color blind people to use colors?

It would just lower the value of a signature. Having a small space means you have to really think carefully about what you're going to put in it. If you have unlimited space then people will just be carefree and throw things in. No support because it will just ruin the signature space.

It's a signature! You should be able to put whatever the hell you want in it, not think about it like it's some life-changing experience.

At least have a character limit in there. Otherwise, users can just put an excessive amount of space in there and it's just going to lag up computers.

There already is a character limit.

But there are (technically) not the scrollable signatures you guys are referring to. I'm saying if this gets implemented, there should be a character limit of (any ideas?) characters.

That is why this suggestion exists.
The character limit is much larger than what can actually fit in a signature without using ctrl+shift+down.

There's a limit of 2000 characters, I think that even bad PCs can manage to get ~2kB.

Scroll bar, eh? I don't think such scratchers like this one can fool me!

Why does everyone want scroll bars? If they want to scroll down, they may just accidentally scroll the bar. So, No Support.

That's not how scroll bars work, at least not in good browsers. When you scroll down, then you have to stop over the scrollable area.

I would love this to be implemented as it would mean I could fit more bouncing cats into my main's signature.

Allowing them to rise up and replace kumquats as the dominant force of the Scratch forums.

Bump. Maybe if I bump this, perhaps a cunning negotiator will sway me to their cause… I'll watch and think about it.

LOL, even my bumps are constructive.

Most people use Ctrl + Shift + Down anyways. Support!

tho ctrl+shift+down

And besides, how many signatures have you ate anyway?

352,100,079.
Support. The trend of long siggies and “control-shift-down” has been popping up lately but mobile users can't get in on the action. Also, I can only fit 7 scratch blocks at one on the siggy.

I programmed my personal userstyle to make forum signatures scrollable and I've been using it for the last week. It has barely changed my forum experience - occasionally I do accidentally scroll inside a signature instead of the page itself but it's not really frustrating, but I also haven't really felt the need to specifically scroll inside someone's signature.

I generally like to think that all the content you want people to see in your signature is in the 150px that you can immediately view, and anything below that should be reserved for easter eggs or to store things that you use frequently like hex codes or that sort of thing.

Why?

There is no point in saying support. The Scratch Team does not allow “voting” the suggestions. The users can give feedback and ideas, though. That's the point in having such a forum, anyway. They can persuade the Scratch Team to your own cause.
