Message Board Problem: Editing Signatures

[RKSTFan]

Am I the only one who can't edit Signatures?

I have a short signature, which you'll see at the bottom of this post, but I wanted to change it.

I have tried to edit it many times today. It won't let me do it.

When I attempt to send/set my Changes for a new signature, I get an error message saying my BMG code - or whatever it is - is too long.

So, I tried shortening my signature even further than it already is. It still didn't work.

Then, I tried almost eliminating my entire signature. Once again, it still didn't work.

Finally, I tried starting over. I deleted everything and then typed in a shorter version of my signature. Yet again, it didn't work!


What's going on? Am I the only one having this problem.

I haven't experienced this problem, but then again I haven't tried to change my siggie in a while...

[shaniatfan]

I just chnaged mine and changed it back and it allowed me. So i don't really know what's going on, but i don't think it's the forum, possib;y your computer, but IDK

When I attempt to send/set my Changes for a new signature, I get an error message saying my BMG code - or whatever it is - is too long.Could it be BBCode Markup?

I just looked and the default limits for signatures in this software version are:
Maximum Characters in Signature Including BBCode Markup = 800
Maximum Characters in Signature Excluding BBCode Markup = 400

Should be plenty to accept for example a signature you have now which is about 250 characters including BBCode markup.

Oh, one thought though, are you trying to enter a size bigger than 2? The limit is size 2 at the moment.

Question to those who use the 'UP!' -font, that font is considerably smaller than normal, what size do you use with it in your signature?

Hmmm. It could be the SIZE problem.

I've had my Signature at a "Size 3" for a long time now.

When I was attempting to edit my signature, I was going to keep it at a "Size 3" like before.

I guess it won't accept that anymore. :(


I'll try downgrading the size to "2" and see what happens...

[RKSTFan]

Well, it worked. I just edited my signature.

It was the SIZE problem.

I was trying to keep my 'Size 3' setting.

The message board doesn't accept that size now.

Oh well. :(

Mines at + 2 (Name)

[aFinn]

Mines at + 2 (Name)That would mean the limit would have to be raised to allow that font to be used so the text is readable. The problem with that font though is that when viewed in a comp that hasn't got that font installed the text looks huge in normal font.
And our signature guideline is size 1 or 2... difficult problem.

[Mizery1]

Ohh its not that big after removing the [font] only.

[aFinn]

It's huuuuuuuuuuuge! :shocked:

[Mizery1]

First time I've heard someone complain. So everyone should install the irrep font. And we all be 'So Happy'
