signature size

[atch]

signatures are limited to 100 characters. i understand that.

but some folks have larger signatures and in the "edit your signature" block it talks about stuff i don't understand. it sounds to me like you can link to a larger signature.

is that what folks are doing?

could someone explain to me how i can do this?

my signature is long. i didn't have to do anything special. maybe i was grandfathered in and had my signature before the 100 character limit. i know, i wasn't much help.

yeah, mine used to be longer, but when i changed it (many months ago) the last time the 100 character limit had been put into effect and i was "caught".

The "increase size" "decrease size" is in reference to FONT size, not number of characters.

I'm guessing the larger sigs are grandfathered. I wonder, don't know, does it count spaces and blank lines as characters?

Also, I can edit signatures, I never do, but I wonder if I edit your sig if it will go past the limit?

What you want in it?

yes, my longer signature was still there (grandfathered) until i redid it and it wouldn't accept the new signature. when you try to edit it with more characters it says:

"Your signature cannot be longer than 100 characters excluding BB code markup.

Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 7 line(s). Long text may have been implicitly wrapped, causing it to be counted as multiple lines."

i routinely change my signature. that is; i change the quote at the end.

so, it looks like i'll just have to keep finding short quotes.

unless, of course, ryan decides to allow longer signatures. allowing a couple more lines and 200-300 characters would be nice. 'course bandwidth limitations might preclude this.

thanx for taking the time to read the post and consider the implications.

Anything for you , Sugar pants...sssssshhhhhhhhhhh...

you're gonna make me blush.

i still get the same message when i try to edit my sig.

"Your signature cannot be longer than 100 characters excluding BB code markup.

for someone who likes to talk as much as i do 100 characters just isn't enough.

BUT, if it's gotta be that way just tell me and i'll shut up...

Shut up.
