Signature length

[BigPete]

Is there anyway to get this moved up? Current limit is 255. I think 300 or 350 would be good overall, if I had just another 4 or 5 characters, then I could throw in my system rig info as well. I think this is good, I can put my website, my heatware, and my rig. Maybe we can do a poll or something, I am not asking for 3 page essay sigs but JUST A LITTLE ITTY BITTY BIT longer... pwetty pwease....

I'm pretty sure Zuni has said there will be an increase... was it 500 characters? Something like that.

 

[JayPatel]

yup...500 or so was what he said...think its slated for the next forums upgrade.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

This thread suggests a work-around in the mean time, might give it a try.

Nice to know Zuni is upping the limit. I've had an occasion where I wanted to firt just a touch more in my sig also.
Increasing to 500 characters seems plenty IMHO

You can also use the ip of your websites in the url section, and give the name for the link that gets displayed (i did that for my sig)

or you can do this to make it even shorter:

me = www.slutbucket.com = 207.40.21.125 (IP)
Change IP octets into binary
11001111.00101000.00010101.01111101
take out the "."'s and make it one long binary number, and convert to decimal
11001111001010000001010101111101 = 3475510653

now use that number instead of your IP, and it should save some spaces. I'm tired and I think I might have messed up somewhere in there.

anyone know when this will take place?

 

[bonkers325]

yeah i wish that i could be more than 255 characters
at least i can make a bigger sig

500 is more than enough IMHO... But then again having more than enough is better than NOT having enough in the first place

But I hope people will use their 500 chracters mainly for links and not a whole load of words... Cause that will just crap the sig I think
