When you updated your site (pretty neat btw, very user friendly! ), I cannot seem to change my signature, as in keep what i have but some links I made are not showing the right color (apparantly sky blue is no longer an option) so when I go and change it to a new color it says I have exceeded the limit of characters? Is this an error or did you intentionally set the character limit for signatures to 500?

Also, how about an icon on a post (like your report icon) so when a post is solved, you can click it to close it and marked as solved? (or at least click on it to let your mods know it's solved?)

Mine wasn't affected by the upgrade, but I didn't use the Sky Blue color so that may be the issue.

I tried to add the red ======== line above....
Donating to TSG helps to keep the site going so please do your part and help.

But got the was over my limit also so I could change it.

I just tried deleting from my sig and got...
1. Your signature can not be longer than 500 characters.

I deleted the " . " after or tried to.

Nitehawk, try amending your sig (ie, remove a link) and see if you get the message I got (the same as hewee got)

Yup, signatures are now limited to 500 characters.

OK Mike but why can't I delete from what is there now?
Is it because it is over 500 now?
Like I may have 550 characters now and what I was deleting was only taking it down to 540 characters. So still over the limit.

How do I find out how many characters I have there now?

 

[TechGuy]

You're grandfathered with your current signature, but if you change it, it must follow the new rules. Only way to check for length is to submit... if it tells you it's too long, it's too long.

 

[hewee]

Well guess I will just keep it as it is.

Thanks Mike

 

[Couriant]

Oh well, I really liked my colored signature too...

 

[NiteHawk]

Try to shorten a few things.
Spybot Search & Destroy to just Spybot or Spybot S&D
Lavasoft Ad-Aware to just Ad-aware
Pull out the color=sky blue and let it just be black

These may get you under the 500 limit

 

[hewee]

NiteHawk,

Just think how many characters your is with the color code and all the renaming in the links.

 

[Couriant]

You know I did and I STILL got the 500 limit message. I don't think mine is...

 

[hewee]

You may do better to taking out the color code on the ones where the code showes up or does that still have you over your limit?

 

[Couriant]

Took out the color coding and shorten it. They took out the character checker too so I can't check if it's a fault... I even took out two links and still had a message.

 

[hewee]

What a paim in the rear.

 

[NiteHawk]

NiteHawk,

Just think how many characters your is with the color code and all the renaming in the links.

I know. That's why I'm leaving well enough alone

 

[Couriant]

I wouldn't care ethier, but they now change sky blue to light blue... and now it looks rough

 

[hewee]

I know it looks bad and if you fix it so it looks good you have to take out a lot.

Was trying to find out how many characters was in mine and just remembered that http://www.theofficeexperts.com where Dreamboat is at has a forum like we did and I am a member so I was able to go there and put in my Signature and check the length.
Says mine is 670 characters so if I ever want to edit it I would have to take out a lot.

But it is a good way to check your characters length and play around with your setting to see what you can do seeing how we don't have the "check the length" option here anymore.

Yup, signatures are now limited to 500 characters.

Mike...is this still the same as you posted in 2004...if not it should be!
