    I was trying to change my Sig in my profile. It says it is too long. It is under two lines of text. I have seen others with much longer sigs. What up?

    I believe it can only be one line, Fred. Others are 'grandfathered in' if they haven't changed them since before this limit.

    Says this when I try to change it: "Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 2 line(s). Long text may have been implicitly wrapped, causing it to be counted as multiple lines."

    Sig I want is only 2 lines. :confused I think you are doing it just to mess with me. :-D

    Okay. I tested it on my test account.

    I did two lines with about 37 characters each.

    What sig are you trying?

    This was changed a long time ago, and *bribery of Admin is about the only way to correct it.

    LauraR loves those 5 Pound Hershey Bars.



    *Admin don't need to be bribed. They do need to be thanked!

    There were some signatures changed back at the time of the 2 line limit change, mine being one of them.

    "Economics is a study of consequences of various ways of allocating scarce resources which have alternative uses. It is not a study of our hopes and values." T. Sowell"

    Odd, it shows up as 3 lines here. I would not think it is excessively long. Now, in here, it is just one line... The plot thickens...

    The Editor box is not as long as the screen. ;)

    This line in mine fills almost one line.

    But, it shows up as only 2 lines in my editor box...

    Your quoted text broke where I inserted line breaks in my previous post.
