For nation emblem, I'm talking about the coat of arms for that nation
For Guild emblem, I'm talking about the one you would see on aprons and such.
It's 5 lines long.

I agree here. Maybe have the sigs automatically link to the player's information where all his or her characters are listed. Give the player the option to designate a 'main' character and build the banner off that one.
I do not know if this is feasible or not, but perhaps give the user the option of changing a line. Let them pick things like mission status (CoP, RoZ, etc), crafting levels, a random quote they want there, linkshell group(s), etc.
I'm absolutely all for this. I've always been mildly saddened by the lack of ability to use images in alla's forums. Although I can understand the necessity for the restriction of allowing images to be rampant, overuse and bandwidth issues, I still miss them. ^^
However, I think having a "generated" sig image is a fabulous idea. I wandered over to a WoW thread once, and saw them there, and have been jealous ever since. Now to hear it's in the works, I'm ecstatic. Probably will be enough motivation to renew my Premium Membership when the time comes.
I agree with the quotes above mostly.
I'd say 3 main jobs would suffice for most players. Sure there are people with 4 or 5 main jobs, even leveled to 70+, but mostly those are for "fill-in" variety, when one of those jobs is lacking they use it to fill in for missing members. I personally have 3 jobs that I plan for end-game activites within the near future, and 2 or 3 others that I'll level past AF stages some day down the road, but only the 3 "mains" would I have any desire to see, and
advertise publicly.
Also, us requesting a lot of extraneous information does get into the image's size itself.
I thoroughly support the layout as show in the quote:

But, since it is (errr would be) pulling information from our profile here, I'd also support the "Current Title" feature, probably fairly small font, just below the name.
My added suggestion, code it to be a link to the user's main character's profile. See the sig, ooh spiffy, click to check them out.
Edit: Scrolled back to the top, and {Hmmm.} it seems the WoW ones are already coded like that. ^^ GJ Edited, Fri Dec 16 20:20:52 2005 by Crashin
