Mods: New Signature Character Limit? - RC-Monster Forums

BrianG · **Mods: New Signature Character Limit? -** 02.24.2007, 09:11 PM

I was attempting to add the links to my BL buggy to my sig and was told the text was too long. I tried trimming out some text to add the links and still too long. I even removed some text altogether and it is still too long.

Was this changed?

I guess I'll have to put all the text in a pic...

I hd the same thing happen for me. Except, I wasn't trying to link to pictures. I was just stating the parts on my rc's.

Well, me too. I was just trying to add a little bit extra. Unfortunately, the VB code to add a pic takes up several characters and it only allows 200 characters now. When I first added my sig, the limit must have been higher because my existing sig is like 600 characters.

I know that some people do get carried away and the sig becomes bigger than the post, but I specificially used the size 1 font to keep things small.

If this limit can't be raised, I'll have to change the sig so all the text and pictures are in one image.

I have got no idea what happened..

Was the site's version of PHP upgraded?

Can the limit be changed, or do you have to be an Admin, not "just" a mod, to change it?

i don't know about this change, i don't know if i can change it either.

I don't think so..

Sometimes it takes about 15 minutes before you read a persons signature, if he/she posts all the details about their vehicles..

LOL

That is true I guess. I just figured that the site allowed so much room in the sig area, I could fill it up a little.

Although, it is nice to have those details in there if you need help with something, you don't have to list out everything in the post.

Is there a size limit for a picture as a signature? By size limit, I mean width/height dimensions. I'll host the pic at my site, so file size is not a concern.

arh, for the troubleshooting you just post what it is you are having a problem with, and as detailed as possible, for the 'as if' occasions you don't really need a signature that big, with the entire hobby spreaded IMO..

I have got no idea why it changed Brian, so i don't know what the reason was. I didn't know that it happened at all. Perhaps Walter (hotncold) knows. You can shoot him a PM if you want an explenation.

No changes that i am aware of - but thats not saying much either....

BrianG · 02.25.2007, 01:40 PM

OK. I'll just keep what I have. Thanks.

If you have got any problems with your setup, i won't be asking what type of motor you are having Brian..

BrianG · 02.25.2007, 02:04 PM

lol, that's why it's there. :) Although, I need to edit the Neu motor for the buggy since it's actually a 2d, not a 2.5d.
