View Full Version : BBCode character limit in Signatures?

Um, I feel dumb, but I must be doing something wrong. I'm trying to change my signature to say I'm in Chicago (not Monterrey now...), but it keeps saying "BB code size value is too big.". It won't tell me what the character limit is, and obviously I was within the limit before. Plus, "Chicago" is fewer characters than "Monterrey". Is the character code limit smaller now?
Also, I've tried pulling all the links and images from the signature, and I still get this message, even when it's just down to a few phrases of text.
Help?

:( Sorry I can't help...I'm probably the most computer-illiterate person on here...hence the lack of pics and tickers and stuff...I have the baby ticker only cause it was easy to cut and paste.
Hope someone else can help...
Where are the Mods when you need them? j/k!!

Hmm weird!
Yeah speaking of this it would be cool if we had that little box that tells us how many characters we have left .. lol for those of us like me and losg that get signature obsessed :bleh:

Normally it's 2000 characters with the bbcode, 1800 without out. You're well within that limit.
I'll go look later to see if there are issues with the character limits. I don't have time right now.

You know what, it was because I had a font size 3 or something big, and apparently at some point it changed to a limit of size 2, so any new signatures wouldn't save anything with a bigger font. So now none of my signature is bigger than size 2 and all is fine. Could that be the problem?

I haven't done any pictures/ avatar, timelines or tickers because I don't know how, I'm not computer illiterate but I just haven't even checked into either.
Also I don't know how you guys due to the cute Congrtas or Happy Birthday things either!!
