Subject: Question about sigs

You say tomato; I say potato.

What is the purpose of "This field may not contain words longer than 30 characters." in the sig requirements?

If a word is longer than 30 characters, its probably spam, like


ofdihfaoiewjgohjegfojewofihwaeofjalwejf

and that's just annoying, as you can plainly see.

shhhhhhh

I think I remember Achronos saying something about space on the server, or something like that. As in, there's not enough for bigger sigs.

I dunno.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

It's probably so it doesn't break the forum layout.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

I would say that both Mr. Ghandi and Mr. Brilliant are correct. I would be hard pressed to think of something that would/should be allowed that is forbidden for this rule.

The reason I am asking is because I have a link I tried to put in my sig that was over 30 characters long. I've tried tinyurl, but it doesn't link properly. I'll get over it but I was just curious of the reason.

I'm pretty sure if you link with the http://lookimlinkingtoawebsite.org/ method, and it's over 30 characters, then the system gets pissed off. But if you use the I use pretty hidden links method, the url is hidden and it doesn't matter.

You can't have words with 30 or more letters. You need to have CORRECT words with SPACING.

Bingo. When someone has a huge thing in their sig, it makes the forum thing on the side move and it looks really bad. That would happen on everyone's thread that the person posted in.
