How Do I Edit My Signature?

I can't seem to edit my signature. I keep getting an error message about being over 500 characters, but I am not over 500 (excluding spaces).

I have PM'ed Brucelee, without success. Richard please help!

Richard, can you expand the limitations on the signature to maybe 600 characters?

How do I change the font size? The list shows numbers like 1-6. Which font is smaller...1...or.....6+? Thanks.

First off your signature is ridiculous and should be removed IMO. Etiquette on most boards is no more than 4 lines of text and a picture if allowed and not overly large. Your signature take up half a page on the screen almost and is mostly useless info about your car, nobody cares about all your stock options. Just list a few on a line and be done with it.

Again what does this have to do with General Boxster discussions? Try the lounge maybe, even this isn't lounge material to be honest.

Hey Jim, relax a little dude! I obviousley want to edit my signature, but can't. I did not post this info, Brucelee did a few ago, when trying to help me out.

There are several posters on this Forum that have as large or much larger signatures than mine.

The reson I listed the option codes is because people doing a search in the future may find valuable info and get a hit. I have seen more than a dozen "option code" questions over the past several months.

It was also suggested a few months ago, maybe prior to your arrival, to list more info in our signature lines to help other forum members better understand our specific cars.

I respect your opion...we may just disagree.

Just FYI - The software is counting spaces to the end of the line -even if they are blank- in the 500 total. I had to have the techs "force" the long signature entry in. Even I don't have the capability to change font sizes & types and have asked the techs to look into it. Thats where we stand - when I find out something I will pass it along.

Thanks

Now that I think of it the 500 char limit is very generous....unscrupulous sorts may decide to use each character as a web link - meaning 500 possible free advertising opportunities...... so I may decide to enforce the limit, let alone forgo wanting to change fonts, italics, colors, etc.

500 characters would include the link URLs and associated code..

Bottom line is the "bmussatti" signature is a one-off exception - the first and last exception.

His signature will stay as it is now and if he wants to make any changes he will have to abide by the character limit just like everyone else.

Bmussatti, sorry to communicate this publicly in a post reply.
