But I didn't exceed 255 characters!!!

[johnjohn320]

I was doing stuff with my signature, and it kept saying I was exceeding the 255 character limit. Yet, when I copied and pasted my sig from that little window thingy into Microsoft Word, and checked the Character Count, with spaces, it was 193 characeters. What's the deal?

 

[Colt45]

it always does that to me! grrrrrrr :|:|:|:|:|

 

[Amused]

Spaces count.

 

[Colt45]

<< Spaces count. >>



i know.. still

 

[Pretender]

it counts the actual amount of HTML code that will be required. Hence, links add more than just [ L = ] and [ / L ] (<A HREF sound familiar?).

 

[Colt45]

<< (<A HREF sound familiar?). >>



ummm.. nope.....

It's the code that goes into making the links and whatever, therefore if you have a link that says &quot;Click me&quot; but the code makes it say, &quot;<a href=&quot;www.whatever.com&quot;>Click me</a>&quot; Therefore turning your 8 character &quot;click me&quot; link, into one muuuuuuuuch bigger.

Its a huge right wing conspiracy.

Oh I get it. So if I were to type

[ L = Link ] h t t p : / w w w . a o l . c o m [ / l ]

which is 29 characters it sees it as

<a href=&quot;http://www.aol.com&quot;>link</a>

which is 36 characters. Dude, you're awesome!
