Sorry if this issue has been brought up before, pretty dumb if you ask me that something simple as the SEARCH function (one of the important functions of a forum IMO) is disabled to regular members, but that is not what this thread is about =P
Is it possible to make the char limit apply to only characters that actually APPEAR in your signature? I mean it is pretty unfair that any code or anything unrelated to what actually appears in your sig count as a char used. I mean [][/] or html address for links seem like they shouldn't be counted :( Not to mention that even allakhazam links are pretty long and make it hard to even post 3 links in your sig without going over the char limit.
