Not sure if it belongs here. Could be a feature, but could also be solvable just by knowing how to do it. How do we analyze the exact pixel length of our author signatures? It's not a big issue for me since I'm planning to reorganize mine into a table later (condensing it further). But I never knew how to check on the total vertical pixel length (which is a common requirement to its rule). Is there a non-invasive way of going about it, or do i need to Screenshot > paste to Gimp, and vertically measure the cropped section by hand?

The easiest way is to right-click on it and select "inspect," which will allow you to see the size of each element:

And according to this, your signature total height is 312px, exceeding the maximum total height of the allowed signature size (~210px [10 lines of 15px text, that includes spacing between them, so approx 21px total per line]) by 102px (or 150px max, so 162px over [more than twice!] if said line doesn't include spacers).
Tony should really give an exact number instead of forcing us to do maths, lol.

Strange, I thought it was 420 px...

But yeah, anyway this does help in the long run.

Looks like I got it down to 266.4 pixels, but there is a bit of extra space on the bottom of the signature that I can't seem to account for. The very end of the BB code has nothing after the table, yet there's a whole chunk of blank space after the table anyway. I don't want to be penalized for it later.

Update: Solved at 164 PX
Had to really read the code with a microscope. Somehow I had floating Center tags pushing more vertical height than was needed. I was planning to make this final output a bit later, but now it's organized and cleaner.
> This might be a bit more home inside of bug reports than feature requests. Either way, I win.
