Could you increase the maximum number of characters allowed in signatures, or at least make it so link text doesn't count?

I have a pretty simple signature, but I can't fit the text because the second line consists of 4-5 links where the hidden URL itself takes up all the space.

I hope you know what I mean.

I'd be happy if the WoWsig just didn't take up any of the spaces, tbh.

What about cannotlinkto? At least until a fix is in place.

edit: nevermind. I guess tinyurl isn't valid after all :)

Yeah sorry about that. I brought up the tin[i][/i]y url earlier because WoW forum was receiving a lot of RMT links using it to bypass the normal filters.



And I'd be a third vote for tags not taking up signature characters, not that I am pushing the limit.

I vote for less space for sigs. But that's just me, and probably Kao. Smiley: laugh

Agree with the space, Nix. The problem is that there's a character limit instead of a line limit to signatures. Which means that I can make a signature containing some stupid ASCII art picture which takes up half the page, but I can't make a single line if it has more than four links in it.

I couldn't get the javascript override to work without reading up more about javascript, so nevermind for now.

Is that a "Not right now" or a "NEVAR!!!" -- ?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I have an idea, turn everyone's add sig box to not checked by default, then let premium users decide their own default settings for sigs. (Yeah... It'd take some work... But it would help with some o' the people who have GINORMUS text sigs.)

You too...

Edit: In all seriousness, though, I'd really like this fixed as soon as possible. My signature can only contain three links to this site (the URL is freakin' long here), but I could also, instead, put sixteen line breaks in my signature, or perhaps some giant ASCII art thing.
