Major trouble edited my sig!!!
I was trying to add "Jerusalem" - the hymn to my sig but kept getting a message to the effect that 500 characters were all that was allowed.
After several removals of text it still read that I had more than 500 characters. How come?? |

Probably cos you've got 500 characters? My guess is the url links in your sig... they take up a lot of space. You've currently got about 100 characters in your sig, and that's minus the linkage information.

I think the colour codes for turning the text blue etc. also count as characters.

Yep, the colour tags, and size tags take up space as well.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll change it so that I can put the hymn in.

Grey_Wolf, you should use a smaller font. We've had discussions in the mod forum about people useing large type in their sigs, so maybe you could shrink it a tad.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land. Does blank spaces count as a character? |

Yes, blank spaces count. I know, that sucks, doesn't it?
