I tried to change my signature just now and for some reason it's not letting me submit, saying my signature can not be any bigger than 512 charectors. Now, I know it has been changed to 512 VISABLE charectors, but I think somebody behind the scenes messed up and made it 512 TOTAL charectors and 1024 VISABLE charectors. I am merely asking for an admin to go and check to see if there is an error in the code settings, and if it isn't then I'll have to see if I deck all my quotes so I can get the signature updated to what I want.

Well your signature now has about 2244 total characters. The new maximum for the total number of characters is 1024, 512 of which can be visible (i.e. not BB or HTML tags). If you are sure that the signature you are trying to input has less than 1024 total characters and 512 visible characters, post again and I'll look at the code that checks this. I tested it before though and it worked fine.

Not sure what your saying exactly. But what I had to do was keep chopping my signature down until it fit and met the requirements. I kept clicking either Preview or Save Signature, until the error message that you are getting eventually went away.

Hm...This is really weird...

I chopped my sig down REALLY good, 429 visible charectors, 829 total charectors, and I'm STILL getting the error.

Well that is stupid, I don't understand why. Something wrong with the coding then, I suppose.

toldyaso.

Actually, it's counting it as 556 visible characters. I added debug text at the top of the edit signature script so you can see this yourself. What's happening is it's including the URLs in the BB code [url] tags. Try using HTML <a> tags instead and see what happens. I'll fix this to not include the data inside BB code, but I don't have time right now.

Thank you.

For now, I guess it'll have to do. I think I know how to make it open in a new window.

It works.

Just a hint to anybody else that wants to have it pop up in a new window like the [ url ] tag, type it as < a href="(url)" target="_blank" > replacing (url) with the url you wish to have and removing the spaces between the <> too.
