I don't know about you, but i for one find it quite annoying that i seem to be cutting down my pre- designed signature all the time because of character allowance. I understand perfectly why it's there, all i ask is if it were possible to increase this allowance or some how exclude url or certain things from the allowance. Or something of that type.

Thank you for your precious time.

I would have to agree with Gods Prophet it would be handy if the markup tags didn't count towards your total. I remember using MS Word to check my total character's and i was under the limit but when i put it into my signiture i was over i rechecked more than once and just couldn't figure it out.

Signatures are plenty large enough already.

¶ IF they didnt count the URL's into it then it would be fine. Because that always fills mine up so much. You cannot have more than 3 links it seems, and that makes you be able to post tiny.

I dont think it should be increased, just URL cut out. ¶

I agree that if you don't put very many website links, or bold/underline/italicize your phrases, then you have plenty of space for a sig. But I still think that the count shouldn't include the Markup Tags. Of course, I know that it be very difficult to make the system know the difference between [b] and just plain b, but that's why I believe the allowance should be higher. Maybe 50 more characters.

¶ It actually wouldnt be that difficult at all to make it tell the diff between [b] and b. You just tell it to exclude [b]... Then it does. You can always tell something to do the exact thing you want and no more. I imagine it wouldnt be to hard at all to do that.

If they dont want to exclude markup tags, then I would suggest a 100 char limit increase. And 1 more line.... instead of the 10. ¶

I'm torn. One part of me thinks Text Markup tags should be excluded from the character count, but the other part says that if you want to make your signature all flashy, it shouldn't be allowed to be as long. I don't want a paragraphs worth of links detracting from a post I'm reading. Mabye they could decrease the characters allowed, but also keep the markup tags from counting.

I have no problems with the way it is now, however. I would just assume keep it the same. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.

¶ This is not a thread about Avatars, there are other threads to say that in....

I wouldnt want a whole paragraph of urls either, but maybe limit the amount of links? to 7?

I have been wanting to do some neato stuff ot my sig, but I have not the room. ¶

That will happen when 7themes is dusted off again. That will happen Not So Soon™

On topic. I would like the URL's taken out. But, if I need to add more, I think I'll use Toast's "tinyURL" thing. I looked at it. It seems to be quite handy.

If they only edited it for the urls to not take up anything. Like Toast said already, tinyurl helps some, but not much.

Yeah. OK, so now i'd agree with you guys. The same character allowance but with url and mark-up tags not included.
