Anyway, less of that and more of this.
This is OK

Which is well, , as the bottom line is shorter than the top.
Now i fiddled around a bit and i can get about 10 letters in on the bottom line but thats it.
And of course the whole thing is well under 150 charecters.
Annoying, but im too tired at the mo - need sleep!

You could always remove the line about what you bought your sister, as it's unlikely anyone will need to know that.
Actually i think its all the more important.
Draw the line at Apple tatoos/shaved head with the Apple logo, that sort of thing.

I don't have a problem with anything here...except those quotes as sigs...guys can't you just write it in(LAZY!)

I count about 165.combatcolin said:2000 XP PC 24" Dell WideScreen Monitor

By the way, vBulletin counts linebreaks as two characters (carriage return + linefeed). How un-Macish and un-Unixish of it!
Um, now thinking that a space is counted as a charecter.

Oh well, how about a small counter that counts down from 150 similar to a mobile phone text message?

I have to say that this 150 character limit is bogus. Hell, I can't even edit my signature, and I will not shorten it. Just because a few felt compelled to have sonets in their signatures, does not mean we should all be punished.

Actually, I'd say yours at the full 6 lines with multiple colours and a fairly large font is one of the more distracting signatures on the forums. I'd punish you more

Sorry TEG i'd have side with Applesider on your sig .. Multi-color sigs are a pain to read and gives me a headache from looking @ it..
This is ridiculous, I've had the same Signature for almost 2 years (save for changing the middle line). I've have received many comments regarding how 'tight' it is, and how informative it is. Just because some people decide to list all the specs of all their computers, each on a separate line, does not mean that a signature like mine, which BTW is only 4 lines, 2 of which fit into the space of 1, should be discriminated against.

I was thinking about changing it to this...

emw said:I couldn't care less about your signature, to be honest. I was just confused by the fact that you "cannot" change you signature. I'm assuming this is really a "don't want to" rather than an unable to
I'm just upset that I cannot modify an existing signature to make it better, because of the morons that caused this action to have to be taken in the first place.

Personally, I find Multi-line, linked signatures to be ugly and useless.
At least Mine has a purpose.

Sorry if i came cross that way earlier
Another vote for banning annoying animations.
Or at least give us the option of deciding if we want to see the animation or just a still frame.

I'd really appreciate it if people could make their sigs in smaller fonts. It helps differentiate between the post and the sig and there's really no need for it to be in the normal font size. People only read them periodically, and they show up just fine at a smaller size.

Thanks E. I know it seems like a special favor, and I do appreciate it. I am however glad that we no longer have sigs that are 5 times longer than most posts.

That my friend is why there is a large, black, solid line separating the body from the signature.
TEG
I understand that (though it's not really that large...it's quite thin and rather short). But more importantly, large signatures force readers to have to do more scrolling.TEG said:
