Signature too long

When I try to edit my signature, I get a message that the signature is too long and must be shortened. Here is what I'm trying to get my signature to read: "Dell Dimension E310, 80 GB HD, Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, Windows Media Center 2005 w/SP2, Spyware Terminator, SpywareBlaster, Avast, Comodo, ccleaner" I don't think it's quite as long as the previous one, but the message still says it's too long. Any ideas?

 

The Signature is limited to two lines now.

So there is no way to fit all that in..

 

OK, but what is two lines? I mean, how long is one line?

 

Also, what of the info I was trying to get into my signature would you say would be most helpful to a person answering a future question I might have?

 

Am i alone or does anyone else find these very long signatures a bit unnecessary.

i thought the point was the post you make not who has the biggest signature.

or am i just being grumpy

I agree with Bill and the owners. People were putting the brand of fans they had, of all things!:confusedrolleyes Or people put in super long quotes or poems etc. It is annoying to scroll by all that verbiage.

 

The reason for my questions is that I'm trying to update my sig. But if the info really isn't needed, I'll just delete the sig altogether.

 

Thanks for all the interest. My sig's still inaccurate, but anything I try comes up "too long." So be it.

 

Please don't be offended what i posted was not a personal attack.

a number of members who put in their signatures before the restrictions came into place had 5 or 6 lines and my personal view is they are not needed and just use space, which in turn makes the post longer and more pages are needed.

at one time it became a P*****g contest who could get the most into the sig.

 

I wasn't anywhere near offended. Sorry if you got that impression. And I'm way too old for "a P*****g contest." I just honestly wondered what info the experts on this board think is most helpful as they try to solve our problems. Thanks for all the replies to my questions.

 

I am bumping this thread because there does seem to be a bug in the signature limit.

Obviously, I have two lines now. But I want to change it to:

Bill (AFE7Ret)
MS MVP, Windows Desktop Experience, Engineering 2007-2009​

and I get the following error:

There are not two lines - no extra line returns or anything.

But if I pull line 2 up to line one:

Bill (AFE7Ret) MS MVP, Windows Desktop Experience, Engineering 2007-2009​

no errors.

If I remove 8 characters from line 2, it will work.

So why do both line 1 and 2 fit on line 1, but splitting it into 2 lines cause the error? Something is not right.

 

Thanks Halo, but no it isn't. As I noted above, I want it to say,

Bill (AFE7Ret)
MS MVP, Windows Desktop Experience, Engineering 2007-2009

... but I can't do that. It says I have more than one line.

 

I am glad too. Thanks.
