I can't fit anything else on to my signature as it keeps telling me I cannot exceed 1000 letters (which is strange as I have a fairly small signature). Many others have a lot more on their signature and in bigger writing than I, so I'm a bit confused. :confused2:

Hi Suzy,

Are you also trying to include links in your sig, because all the characters are counted towards the 1000 letter limit.

Have a look at my sig, that's what I mean, in that it may not be a lot of characters but the HTML link code behind it is also added towards the 1000 letter limit.

I pasted your sig into Word and did a word count and it tells me you have 261 inc. spaces.

It's because each line has the BBCODE FONT and COLOR in it.
Saxon 10" F/5 Dob.
Pentax XW 10mm, Vixen LVW 22mm, Celestron X-Cel 5mm,
Meade Series 5000 UWA 6.7mm, Orion Expanse 15mm,
Celestron 4mm, Andrews UWA 2" 30mm. Celestron ED 2" 2x Barlow
Filters: UHC/OIII/ & various others. Starry Night Software. 7x50 & 10x60 Binos



That's almost 1000 chars.

Try this, it's only 360+ characters and I've stripped out all the redundant BBCODE.

You might need to play with it a little to get the formatting right.

It'll come out like this.

There you go Suzy, ;) isn't it good to have some handy chaps on this forum, and by the way one of them is not me.
I didn't know this either :shrug:

Hmmm,

Me thinks Suzy is making space for all the goodies Santa may have brought her.....?

Must have been especially good last year?

Now I know I call RB the "Eliminator".......

Perhaps Mike can now be the Reformatinator?

Although, with all the excess code removed and keeping with the Arnie theme, maybe.....

The "Eraser" ??? :lol:

;)

Cheers

Chris

:lol::lol: Your too funny Chris. :lol: No extra goodies for Xmas I'm afraid, I just wanted to add my name for my telescope, I think it's a ripper name :lol:.

Many thanks everyone for taking the trouble to help me and to Mike for going to all that trouble and sorting it for me.;)

:lol: I remember that now Warren!

Perhaps your "Starfinder" dob should be renamed "Found A STAR!" ;)
