I know there have been many posts on this part of the forums about how to make that perfect sig. While sifting through the Tech Forum, I came across a lil tidbit some of you might be interested in. Seems some people see signatures as half cut off. If you hold down Ctrl and move your mouse wheel, you can adjust the size, therefore making it possible to view the entire signature. I know this is not a Game Guide, but figured the best place to put this info considering.

Awesome! I knew you could do it in game, but never in the forums. That helps a lot, thanks man.

Probably only works with IE (unless other browsers use that standard, too).
Basically all you're doing is changing the relative font size, which can also be done in view -> Text Size -> {pick a size}.

The effect you are talking about is fontsize. Usually when writing html it is 'better' to use relative fontsizes. Those are x-small, small, medium, large etc. So the User can decide himself which size fits him best.
As layout became more and more important in html, it was hard to design in relative fonts, so all fonts got a fixed size like . The browser won't resize fonts with fixed sizes, but will resize fonts with relative sizes. As the signature is embedded in its own frame and won't change the layout if its bigger then the frame you can use relative fonts or have to use fixed fonts if you want to make sure that every user can see your full signature.
If the resizing via ctrl + mouse-wheel don't work for you look under your browser settings: view -> fontsize.
Edit
Little correction ... it works how described above, but pure HTML doesn't allow fixed sizes,so the browser will always resize signature, the only way to bypass this is CSS, which is forbidden in the forums.
