And the 200 character limit is irritating, since no one is going to have 200 letters in their sig anyway, we would have "200" characters worth of image links, which I've found more often than not is not enough.


Seriously, there have been enough complaints exactly like this that I can't understand why there hasn't been a change.

Not true. I used Tiny to shorten the address of the third pic and make it within 200 characters but only the first two pics showed up nonetheless. I had to merge the last two into one.

^ the size of the picture doesn't have anything to do with the length of the address (URL) ... that's the problem.

I sincerely disagree. If you need to have three links, start a website. 200 is the maximum to signatures and quite frankly the pictures could be a lot smaller.

It puzzles me. I always make my signature as tidy as possible but even though I'd be within the 200 char limit I can't add the link I want to add. *whine whine* :(
