Why do i have a 500 character sig limit?

Chris's sig is longer than 500, but i cant have any more...

why not?

500 char's is a lot, are you sure chris's is more than that? If it is, it must have changed after the update. Its upped to 750 temporarily, but I'd only like to see small sigs - so use a small font

i was using a small font, i copied chris's sig into the box and it came up with the 500 car error

is that alright Ian?

I had to edit mine for ages before it let me... i think it is 500 or less... it HAS to be, or i wouldn't have been allowed it. Maybe there were some spaces after the text you pasted that are counted as characters?

Characters with spaces = 334.

I copied it into word and did a word count. You defo did sometin wrong then i gues...

Mine is only 309 according to MS Word...

I think there is something wrong with the counter Ian

Its a little too big if I'm honest Any chance you can put a couple of things on the same line, or remove the little things like floppy/network card? A little smaller and its fine

ok - will do

Now there is a 700 (or 750?) sig limit, and i cannot get my sig to save.

here is the sig:
--
KGB's RIG;

Jeantech iMax case
P4 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM
Gigbyte 95655FX-L MoBo
Maxtor 80GB HDD, DVD±RW (DL)
500W PSU, 128MB Radeon GFx
Logitech MediaPlay cordless mouse

It is in colour, but it did not copy them.

I copied it to MS Word, and it said 203 characters (with spaces)

What is the problem with it?
