Ms Marple Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I went to edit my signature this evening - in fact to remove a few words and got told that I am way over the limit of 400 characters. I am sure my signature is no bigger than many others or am I missing something? Anyway Ijust left it alone for the time being. Thoughts??

Lesley Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yes, it has changed, I think it was Lewis who mentioned it recently. If you change anything you have to comply with the new limit. I daren't change mine to the correct number of animals either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I didn't realise it had and then I edited my signature, hardly fit anything in now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Yep - was me that thought it was too controlling Used to be 520, now its 400 with a limit on images (like my photo banner) and the number of smilies!? Did email HQ but not had a reply ... may be worth a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Thanks folks- thought at one point I was imagining things. When I get more time I will ask HQ. In fact I will ask Egluntyne ( my moderator font of all knowledge- obsequious ? Moi? ) if she comes to the Christmas markets on Sat. Not going to edit mine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The limit changed when there was a forum update recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Is that so they can put all those ads at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 No,its not. They had been discussing it got a while,as some were so long that they took up loads of page space,being bigger than the post in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I started a little thread about this - link in my signature (called my chooks) Basically you could put basic info in your sig and link to all the detail in another post...

Christian Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Maybe the longer each post, the more money they have to pay to keep the forum? i.e. forum size etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
