  |  200 Character signature limit
The 200 character limit is incredibly constricting. There are so many great quotes I'd like to put there, but the necessity to keep to Twitter-esque brevity makes me just want to leave the space blank. Kindly request an increase to 300. It's not as if 300 will take much more space on the screen than 200, if any at all. The avatar is already the biggest indicator of the amount of vertical real estate a post is going to take up. My current signature would have to be quadrupled in size to even make a difference. Last edited by VinceG; 09-13-2011 at 05:09 AM. |

BTW, allowing 300 character signature may not increase the size of the screen, but it does add up to distracting text when scrolling through threads. I sometimes already get annoyed with signature that seem to take up the full 200 characters.

Honestly I'd love an expansion of, say, 100 characters simply because it doesn't add that much length, it doesn't make for more scrolling, and it vastly increases our options. There are so many things I'd love to use except I can't because I'd either have to butcher it or it wouldn't make any sense. | |

I wanted to put this full quote in my sig, but I couldn't: “Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” --Mother Teresa (211 characters) |

If a long signature is important to you, you can always add a "signature" manually: put your signature in a text file and copy/paste it below your post: __________________ This is a very long "signature". This is a very long "signature". This is a very long "signature". This is a very long "signature". This is a very long "signature". This is a very long "signature". This is a very long "signature".
