I don't see why either.. I mean, more text really isn't much.. it's the images you've gotta watch out for.. |

RE: For goodness sake, extend the signature length!
Seeing as there's already a image limit(3 or something?) then extending the amount of characters wouldn't be a problem, cause there's no problem in downloading more text. And with the fixed amount of space for signatures already in place there wont be any increase in the length of sigs so I can't see the harm.
So either extend character limit or, like previously said, don't count tags or urls

I must ask again. See if you can't give a good reason for them to be shortened, it's the same as everyone else not giving a good reason for them to be lengthened. No reason = no change.

Yes.  Like I said above, I think excluding the length of URLs is a good idea, and in fact, I already implemented it yesterday.
The character limit is still 400, but URLs now count as only one character each. Also, I disabled the dodgy old Javascript-based limiter.

tbh, WDZ. Add to the registration form of the website, "Do you have dialup" Which then disables the 2 things in that picture automatically when you signup  .
