Signature Length by kao on 03-19-2004 at 02:58 PM
The length isn't much... i've only got 6 chars left, and its because of the links 
Cant it be made longer or, if there is a way, make the [url] tags so they dont kick into the maximumum chars?

That would be quite handy.
A few times I've not been able to make my signature what I intended to because the [url] or [img] tags added to the total characters.

Yeah thats the [problem i have now
i want to change the "Sign up at new forums" link at the bottom of my sig to a different link but cant because the link is too long 
EDIT: WDZ still aint read or replied

lol... you have an image and 5 links... ridiculous... 
If I made the limit higher, you'd add more crap, and then complain again when you can't modify that...
RE: Signature Length by kao on 03-19-2004 at 07:54 PM
just make it so the bbcodes dont use up chars

I'd turn off sig viewing altogether if i wasnt a mod.
Images in sigs is another issue I'd like to remove... But i'm not even going to propose it. I'm totally out-numbered.
It would make the forums faster though.

Actually, I had signatures off for a long time untill a few weeks ago for that exact reason. I agree that large images and lots of text shouldn't be allowed, but I think there should be a enough "room" to make it what you want...within reason. 
Maybe you could make [img][/img] tags add to the length but not [url][/url] tags?
* musicalmidget thinks he's asking a little much.

yeh what WDZ said, the limit is there 4 a reason, cuz u'd probably get idiots putting reaaaaaally long stuff in theyre sigs. causing the forums to go even more slower

Old threads. The limit isnt going to change.
