Trilian / AIM profile size limit?

I used to be able to have any size profile in Trillian / AIM, but all of a sudden, it decided to start limiting me to about 15 lines. I know people who also use Trillian, and their profiles won't even fit in mine if i try to paste them in there. So what seems to be the problem here?
 
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I remember seeing a thread about this earlier, but i wasn't experiencing this problem at the time so i didn't read the instrucitons.
 
The size limit applies to all the text, including HTML code. If you have a couple links and a couple fancy quotes, then your profile will fill up really fast because of all the HTML code that is necessary to produce the text formatting. To fit more stuff into your profile, you can try editing your profile html file and optimize the HTML a little bit. I've done that before so I could fit a few extra lines into it.
 
another thing you might try is put
tags at the end of one line, then connect the second line to the first line and make it one long line...

so:
this
is
four
lines

becomes:
this(br)is(br)four(br)lines(br)

of course, it's a pain because you can't really see what you type..
but i read on the trillian forums that they will leave it as it is for now and will fix it someday or something....

edit:: hmmm.. seems like the quick-reply feature parses my (br) tags to real line breaks...
so, replace (br) with < br > (without the spaces)
