Problem with signature - Please help.

elisabeth_00117 · 07-08-2011, 12:44 PM

I am having a problem with my signature.

I see people with more information than mine but am unsure of why it won't change?

It says:

Quote:

Your signature cannot be longer than 250 characters including BB code markup.

This is how I would like it to read:

Wild Winds Archangel Raphael "Stark", HIC
Wild Winds (registered name TBA) "Zuza"

*Beau* March 8, 1997 to July 6, 2010

Is it possible to have this or do I need to make changes?

It might be too long.

Try putting Beau as:

*Beau* 3/8/97 to 7/6/10

i've been having the same problem. Was told i could put my website in my signature and it wouldnt be a problem but no luck. I'd like to add more of the animals too but it wont let me add any more than what i've got. Kinda frustrating to see others with this list and not be able to have mine like i want it too.

formatting counts as characters which is probably where you are running into problems.

ETA: so for example when you bold something... it's actually like this (without the spacing): [ B ]word[ / B ] and the [ and B count as characters. Same thing for the link.

Thanks!

Revised.

If in don't, go into the mode where you see your sig in text, not html format. You will often find a bunch of unneeded formatting in there.

Wow, I just looked at it. No wonder I could never get my signature to what I wanted. I never could figure out how I was over the 250 character limit.
That's nuts.
