OK, so I've tried over and over and it always comes back "Your signature is too long".
According to MSWord, my latest attempt was 240 characters including spaces. Even if it counts line feeds too, that's still only 253 from 13 lines in that last attempt.
The Profile screen says 255 characters are supported.
It's broken. _________________ Ron Berndt

I could probably take that Holton off your hands and shorten it by one line. _________________ Richard

tabs, line end indicators, hidden html control characters, etc. they all count towards the 255 limit.
try using abbreviations where possible, instead of complete words..

According to MSWord, this is 235 characters. Add 13 line feeds and a terminator and it comes to 249 max. This was washed through Notepad first to eliminate any hidden characters and pasted into the Profile tool. It comes back too large.

While viewing the text in your browser, see if there is a way to see the 'page source' - there is likely a browser option in either the 'VIEW' or 'TOOLS' section about 'web developer' or 'online source' or some such.
You might also try entering your website link as plain text instead of as a hyperlink - perhaps put it in brackets or quotes - it uses quite a few html control characters for a hyperlink.
Do it this way for plain text - 'www.TH.com'

No effect - still says too long
Also, INSPECT in Chrome shows the html - but all thread content is passed to the html as an xml object - so cant see any formatting embedded. . . . _________________ Ron Berndt

Ron,
sorry but I've run out of ideas about what you could try.
One (slim) possibility is that the checking for signature size has changed .
It might even be that your current signature would NOW be rejected if you tried entering it again ...
Since it is already 'saved' and 'active', its size is probably not checked - the size checking would be done during the edit process.
If you do make more attempts to edit the signature, be sure that you would be ok with the new one, in case the old one gets rejected when you try to re-enter it.

I think it might be adding 2 extra characters per line, not just one. I tested by entering 255 characters with no line breaks and it updated fine. Why two? No idea. It might be adding a space at the end, or maybe doing CR-LF a la PC. _________________ Thane Standard Large Bb / Monette Unity B6-7M mpc
