Hi there,

I have been editing my sig to include an album of Jess I have just created and a few links to other parts of the interweb I frequent Wink

The problem I have is that I don't think I'm getting my 500 character limit Mad

I have physically counted the characters and its well under 500, but it just won't have it. I have tested this by adding a nd removing different links. The moment I add everything I want, it cuts my code in half and I lose a link or two (depending on what I add). Phew!

I have my links, but only if I omit the code for my sig pic (which was "meet Jessie"). I'd love my pic too, what gives?

I think the limit is actually 250... the web page is telling fibs. Confused

If you are trying to display an image, try uploading it to the photo gallery on here, then right click on the thumbnail (not the full size photo!) and select properties it should show you the URL of the picture. If you use that in your signature but remove the labradorforums.co.uk address at the start (so all you have left is /modules/Gallery...... etc) then that may work and save you a few precious characters.

Thanks for the suggestions Stuart, but I still can't get it under 250 characters Crying or Very sad Oh well, I'll just have to rough it with what I have.

Funny how it says 500 limit, but is really 250 though Confused

Signatures are actually fairly easy, all you need is a little bbcode knowledge.

The problem I'm having is that I want to use more characters in my sig than I'm allowed.

Take a look here for bbcode pointers.

There are two ways to edit your signature... one is by going to the following address...

http://www.labradorforums.co.uk/account-edituser.html

And the other is by going to this address...

http://www.labradorforums.co.uk/forum-editprofile.html

One of these pages works correctly and the other doesn't (can't remember which one.. i posted somewhere which one worked).

Premiump, if you send me the full text that you are trying to use for your signature, I'll see if I can get it to work. Smile

i had exactly the same problem and it drove me mad! i eventually realised it was due to the length of the link so i used http://snipurl.com/ which shortens the url for you which makes it easier to use. it worked for me Very Happy hope this helps

heres a 'snipped' version on the picture http://snipurl.com/pcul try using that, it might just be short enough to work
