I just installed the latest version of Simple Press, upgrading from the 4.X version.
It seems to have issues with how signatures are laying out. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I tried fiddling with various elements but it's just not working.
Here's an example:

In the Forum Admin section Profiles - Profile Options there is a signature Width and Height setting. You would need to increase the settings to allow space for those large signatures.

Brandon, thats not really right... that only limits the size of the signature image... but the real issue here is that the theme is limiting the entire signature height to 55px...
so, if you want a taller signature you will need to change the sp theme to allow bigger areas... you do this in the spTopicView.php template file of the sp theme you are using... remember, we strongly urge you to make your own theme and not edit one of the core themes lest lose changes on upgrade...
look for the template function:
sp_PostIndexUserSignature('tagClass=spPostUserSignature spCenter&maxHeightBottom=55');
and change the 55 to the height you want to allow...

Hey Mr. Papa,
Adjusting the height of 55 to 90 does help a bit. But I can't adjust past that number cause the signature starts to overlap the content in the forum post. Do you know what other parameter needs to be adjust so that the max height of the signature can be increased without overlapping with the forum post?

What SP theme is this please? Or if a custom one - which theme is it based on? We definitely have users who have made this change beyond 90.

when I look at your site, the signature height is still set to 55px...

I think I see what the issue is.
I was hoping I didn't have to change the php files directly, so I tried to adjust the height via css in a child theme (I'm using the Standard Theme). That resulted in some unexpected formatting issues. By changing it directly in the php file it works as expected.
Thanks for your help!
BTW - How do I create my own theme, so I don't mess up the original files which get overridden in an update? Is there a tutorial somewhere in the forums?
