Your ideas fear me deeply  .
huh?
I was just saying that another forum i go to lets you have up to 2mb per sig, i wasnt suggesting it. 
I don't think there is any need for the char limit, just make it so it cant stretch the page. |

I just don't see the need.
If you are really having issues with length as a result of links or image locations, use something like tinyurl.

I want to know where a link will send me before clicking it, not just see some non-sense stuff.
I have to agree with that. ![[Image: msghelp.net.png]](http://dotlou.com/stuff/sigs/msghelp.net.png)

RE: For goodness sake, extend the signature length!
I think Mike has a good point about the yep.it addresses and I agree quite a lot with it. And don't we have a limit on the amount of images anyway (I think I remember aNILEator complain about it a while ago)? If that's so then we will only be increasing the text which is barely anything to download or store. I can't see how it could be such a bad thing to increase it by 100 characters or something, it is not like it will add much loading time or much spam, but it however gives us a much safer feeling when we click on links.

I think that's a good idea... URLs shouldn't count towards the total number of characters. I'll consider coding that.

Nah,
If you put lots of links in your signature then you're not displaying a lot of text but you are still restricted.

Good idea |

I was saying how crap it was.. Takes years to load a thread, had to disable sigs in the end  |
