how come we only get 500 characters for our SIGs.?
I cant even list all my Dodges and mods

 

bandwidth...excess junk takes up server space

 

I think there are already plenty of posts on why this is. I would suggest just taking a look through those, and you'll get your answer.

 

Short answer:
To prevent 1/2 page sig lines.

(Yes, we have had that problem before)

 

My only problem with the 500 character limit is that I can no longer have a sig with links to pics of my mods - like Ed has. I used to have mine set up that way, but then when I went to edit it, the 500 character limit kicked in.

I agree that 1/2 page signatures are annoying. Is there any way the software can figure out how much page space the sig will take up and limit it that way instead of having a 500 character limit? A couple urls and you're done with the the way it is now.

 

Jst abb evr thg

 

That is the whole point. To do away with a bunch of junk in signatures. For instance, you could be putting information about your truck instead of talking about your NRA life membership etc. I guess it depends on your priority. I've always found it annoying to have to read through stuff like that when I'm trying to find information about someone's vehicle. I've thought about putting rules on signatures, but trying to enforce it would be difficult, so we look for the obvious and get rid of it when we can.

We've discussed it over and over, and over and over. It is what it is, and won't change, unless we decide to shorten it.

 

Do I hear 250?? (I like that idea, too!)

 

I'd say 250-300 us what it's going to end up being someday soon.

 

OK, well i guess we just have to list every mod for that truck when the time comes to ask a question.. thats cool i can live with that

 

Geez,guys get a life! Is it that important to list all that [EDIT]?

 

I took the liberty to edit your sig and remove some stuff that was redundant, you can say the same thing with less letters. Here is an example;

90 W250 stock auto, gauges, hybrid turbo, 93 radiator, Banks Intercooled, 3.07s, 3.5" exhaust, pump turned up, AFC spring removed w/custom cone, timing ^1/8" 3200 gsk, custom intake, kelderman air, 4" lift, 305/70/16 tires KDP slain!

I didn't take time to count the number saved but it was a good number that I got rid of

 

ooo Lary i tink u may of started someting u dont want ...now everybody is gonna ask u to shorten there sig ..well maybe charge $5 that goes to server fund

 

I'm with wanna diesel, would there be a way for the software to limit signature size? instead of character numbers?

a couple of urls chew up the characters awful fast , if they were made into a hyperlink , instead of a huge URL , it might say "pictures"

Is something like this possible?
