Ok, I'm stumped. I tried to change my signature by taking out the joined date and location and get an error msg saying my sig is 79 chars too long and 1 line too much. What the ? Did something get changed that I don't know about? I've been following this thread since day one and don't remember anything about a change.
BTW, thanks for adding joined date and location under our avi's.

Signatures are currently limited to 120 displayable characters, 3 lines, 2 images (for your banners) and 2 links. We'll look at bumping up the character limit.
Why did it take my long sig before? And are blank lines included in the number of lines allowed?
Probably because they hadn't gotten to the point of configuring it before ... it's a pretty minor issue so it wouldn't have been addressed until later.
Imported signatures from the old vB system were ignored by the restrictions. And yes, a blank line is still a line.
Ok, so now that you know that my sig is too long are you going to slap my hand if I leave it until the char limit is increased, if it is increased?
Character limits are now in line with what we had before, which is 400 characters.
There is still a 3 line, 2 image, 2 link restriction.

Ouch!
So I believe my sig is under 400 chars but I have a blank line giving me 4 lines. I'll try editing my sig again and see if I get that error msg.
It worked this time, I think. Won't know for sure until I post. Thanks for your help.
Now don't you feel bad for slapping my hand?

Well, I can't find any hard rule that I could use in order to make a clear distinction.
I can see a rule about "language" but that refers to semantics of the sentences (I can be very vulgar and / or obscene using plain, common daily use words too; so this doesn't clarify much about the words themselves).
Should we infer that the "inappropriate" words are those transformed into *** and anything else goes?

New problem...I'm trying to use font #6 for "Title" and "Mood" but it's not changing. ???
Font #6 is way bigger than the font I'm seeing.

But it wasn't, in the old forum -- I used #3 in my sig line, but can't now -- bold is the best I can do. That's why I had to add the line with my join date/quit date directly to the image, so it was large enough.

It may have been a bit different for supporting members. I'll bump it to #2, but that's it. Far too many were abusing the signature privileges.
Font #1 is teeny tiny. The line in blue in my sig was acceptable in the old forum. I'm confused. The font size that I'm seeing in everybody else's sig is bigger than #1.
