First things first, nice site redesign. Everything looks great. I have to get used to phpbb because it's not exactly my avorie, but it'll do.

TRhe signature is limited to 255 characters. My old one was saved and was in HTML (which isn't allowed) and when I converted it to bbcode, it was too long. Can this be adjusted?

here is an example of my signature (which is apparently too long)

I'll check into it port. We might not want to increase it though - in order to keep people's sigs from getting out of hand. I'll check into it - it's on my list.

Yeah the main reason it seems like it's so small but really takes up a lot of space is because of all the links and the linked image. Maybe you could host them somewhere with smaller filenames. Tinyurl would definitely work, give it a try. Tinyurl.com

Though I'm not sure how long the URLs last.

Yes, and even with the short sigs, I have seen someone with a huge picture there, but I forgot who....

Red, but yours is hosted elsewhere, correct?

It doesn't matter where it's hosted. The 255 character limit includes bbcode. I can have a huge image with one line of bbcode. or I can have a small sig with a lot of links and things, which uses a lot of bbCode

Personally, my signature is fine this way if Harry decides not to change it.
