Character Limit
I just wanted to see what was up with this. Invision says the character limit is 500 on this site, but i tried making a new sig and it said it was too long. I used the character count and it was 496. When I reduced it to under 490, it worked, but I didn't like it without the last ten characters lol. This was a few days ago. Can this be fixed with 2.0?

Re: Character Limit
It's actually not a problem with the software Sam. It's that way purposely. Don't forget BBCode counts towards the limit.

Re: Character Limit
it is actually kinda annoying, my siggy was exactly 500 characters and i had to lose 10 that hard to do.

Re: Character Limit
I'm not sure if the counter takes the HTML or whatever you call it on boards into count.
So if you make a [ /b] or anything like it, it would count as 4 characters.

Re: Character Limit
It does Emily. It counts BBCode. I dont know if its the same with IPB 2.0 but I think it is.

Re: Character Limit
Okay, so if code factors into character count like that... does the code counter not count code?

Re: Character Limit

I'm not the one with a dancing banana that is parading a sign that says "Poop". LOL :-P
It's kinda cute actually.
Edit:
Oooh crap, I don't know why, I thought this was Chit-Chat! Brain fart. I'm closing this because my issue was resolved and we're getting off topic.
