Signature too long?

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Feb 24, 2010 7:48 am

Post by RichardGHP »

Apparantly my "signature is too long". I counted 8 lines of text, but the fact that it would only produce ONE line after the game links (I planned to add one extra) annoys me to no end.

At this point, I tried deleting my Game Records, but nope, still too long. I tried deleting the words "Ongoing Games:", but still to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

delete the white space?
Shrink the font?
Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
Then two, then three, then a month
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up

I did -try to- delete all white space (bar spaces between words) But I'll admit, I didn't think about shrinking the font.

It still annoys me though, I shouldn't have to shrink the font to get ONE line of text into my signature.

It's not about how much space it takes up, it's about the total amount of
characters
. Adding two font tags and a size attribute adds more characters than you already can afford.

Suggestion: Drop the "Game Records (on and off-site)"

why do you need to link to games you're playing in?

Why did you proactively take mine is the better question.

I did try to do this, and I intended to have a signature like:

Ongoing games: Seemingly Normal Mafia, Mafia 107, Mafia 110

Or something along those lines.

In case you weren't aware: bbcode does count towards the 255-character limit, so adding any sort of url will eat up signature space.
If you simply must link to your games, try using [POSSIBLEtinyurlSPAM].

No, it *does* count.
My posts are best read in the calm, reassuring voice of Morgan Freeman. I don't sound anything like him, but they sound best that way.
