Great.

Has anyone else had trouble arranging their signature? I haven't been able get to three lines, although I know that I haven't gone over the character limit or line length. I wonder if the empty spaces left over from copying and pasting are collecting and clogging? Though I do try to clean those out every time.

I think it counts links into the character limit, so it fills up quite quickly, if you have lots of them.

Yes, I had similar problem. Don't you use the tags like "right" or "center" often? They count as a new line always. But yes, definitely there are certain moments when the program counts the lines as more than they actually are. To be precise: it happened to me while posting this:

text A[TAG RIGHT]text B
text C[END TAG RIGHT]

Now the tag "right" in itself creates a new line and the program rightly counts it. All the texts (A, B, C) are shorter than one line, I checked it and 100% there is no problem in it. It should look like this:

text A
text B (in the right corner)
text C (in the right corner)

However, it says that it is more than three lines. But when I do for example this:

text A
text B
[TAG RIGHT]text C[END TAG RIGHT]

therefore, a thing that looks like

text A
text B
text C (in the right corner)

it does not write any alert message to me. It seems illogical.

I'm having the same problems with my siggy. I'm trying to create a new one; it's only three lines (no tags or anything), but I still get a notice that it's more. I think it's because in the text box where you type the signature it is four lines, but that's just silly because the text box is much smaller and it would only be three lines on the forum...

Oh, you think it really is that silly? I thought it counts characters (it indeed does) and it knows how many characters make a line, and it does not depend on how big the textbox is. After all, the size of the window may be different... ???

Brinniel · 01-15-2008, 05:30 AM

Well, I didn't really think I had that many characters in my signature...showing up on the forum, each line is fairly short in length.

But I did manage to figure it out. I had to merge the last two lines into one line, then align left the last line so that it would appear as three separate lines. Very odd...but at least it worked.

I have a rather silly question. I noticed my little reputation thing and thought to myself "you should give some kudos to some of the other WW players, as they did a spectacular job, etc., etc." So I tried. But it won't let me go to it. I wondered if it was my IE acting up, so I tried Firefox, but still to no avail. Somehow I managed to get to Noggie's (don't ask me how I did that) but I keep getting some error. I know it's really not that big of a deal, but it irks me that it won't work. Any suggestions?
