I tried to update my signature, but was quickly directed to an error stating that I was limited to 600 characters, including my bbc markup. I see other sigs that are a lot longer than mine. Do I have an error or something. I was able to change it finally, but had to remove a few things.

My guess is those folks aren't using the bbc markups, but instead using the tools on the menu bar to get the formatting they want.

I got that as well. What it means is that when you change the font or the text size or colour it takes up characters. If you switch the editor mode, the button in the top right corner, you'll see what I mean.
This is an example of my name with a different font. I deleted the first [ and the last ] ahead for FONT and after /FONT

FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Brian[/FONT

These codes sure do eat up a lot of your 600 characters

Yeah, still don't get it...

I got caught w/ 300 characters. I was told the mark up things do not count in it. I guess I was wrong!

spaces count
code counts
line breaks count

In short, keep your sig files neat, clean and compact. Too much sig equals too big a distraction.

Whats funny is that before I edited it with my new trips, I was WAY under the limit, but with a longer signature, with more lines and more breaks. That's what I don't understand.
