    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

Taliban in Pakistan

From the article...

Since taking over the provincial administration, the radical pro-Taleban government has imposed a number of measures, including a ban on playing music on buses. It is also mandatory for public transport to stop during prayer time. Several cinemas have been closed, having been accused of on “encouraging obscenity” and the display of pictures of female artists on billboards outside theatres has been banned. This month schools were told to replace a uniform of shirt and trousers with the traditional dress of shalwar-kameez. Female students have to wear a veil.

Hundreds of activists belonging to the ruling alliance went on a rampage through the streets of Peshawar, the provincial capital, on Friday, pulling down advertisements displaying women’s faces. They also cut cable television connections. Police stood by as the crowd, led by an MP, smashed shop and restaurant signboards carrying pictures of women models.
