Signature error message

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I keep getting this error when I go to update my signature:

Quote:
Your signature can not be longer than $vboptions[maxsiglines] lines.
I'm a fully paid member and in many cases I'm changing something small that does not make thinks longer, and shortening it does not fix the error, please explain?

Thanks!!

Hi, when the text alignment is centered or right justified, the software has to add space to the beginning or end (or both) of a signature phrase. Because of this, it makes a person's signature run into a third line, and signatures for all members and mods (unless we mods are 'advertising' an MDC thing) can only be two lines.

There are a few things you could try -- One trick is to use a font size of 1 instead of 2, because it will buy you more space. Some fonts also take up less space than others. If neither of those things work, try completely removing the justified code, add everything you want to add, save it, and then try tweaking the spacing again. It may be that only centering or no justifying at all will work with the length of your signature, though.

I hope one of the tricks helps!

Thanks, the FAQ only mentions the issue with center justify, I'll check out mixing the right justify as well, interesting to know that font size and not just character count affe ts it, good info.

Off to play with my preggo siggi!!!

Oh! I'm going to have to add that to my "add in my next update" list. Thanks!
