I just noticed that two of my banner are gone. One 727 banner and one 767 banner. I tried to fixed them but the boxed was limited to 300 characters so I cannot correct it. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yep. Just noticed it earlier today.

I think that was a warning. Fly better or you will loose your license.  :P See, I don't even have banners.  :'(

Hi NNewcomb.

The reason it has happened (to everyone) is because the limit on the amount of characters you can use in your signature has been reduced to 300. I think it used to be 500 or 600, but not any more. I noticed this yesterday and redid my signature to "fit in" with the new limit.

Hmm...I wonder why they decreased it...

Could I make a business out of selling my signature characters to someone else?  :-?

I don't know why. But I noticed that my signature was incomplete yesterday.

My computer specs showed up like this:
Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.

instead of like this:
Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz | 8GB DDR3 1600 | Nvidia GTX470 | 24" LCD Monitor | 2TB HDD, 1TB HDD, 500GB HDD, 300GB External HDD | Windows 7 Profession 64 bit | Flight Sim X Deluxe & Acceleration

So I went in and checked it out, and noticed that it stopped there and I had 0 characters available. So I removed my list of CS products to make room for my computer specs.

We'll have to keep an eye on you to make sure you don't start some pyramid scheme with characters.  :P

Anyway, nobody would happen to know why the number was reduced, do they?

I'm sure Tanya knows why. ;)

There are some threads and forums, where one has to scroll through tons of signatures to then find out that the owner has even written some text in his actual posts.  ::)

Perhaps the restriction which they had already imposed wasn't doing the trick.

I think they should render the signature space available in relationship to the average post length of the actual forum member.
Geez, I would have a nearly unlimited signature space then (mind my business idea!).  ;D  On some posts, I even had to cut out some sentences as that 7000 chrs limit was reached.
Note. If I have added anything useful to this topic so far, something went completely haywire.

But more seriously, I still have a scroll bar next to some of your signatures. Guys, that's too much. I can't even see your stuff without using that bar. And CS already is a dev which doesn't allow those huge signatures you can see somewhere else.

But, here's a tip for you folks who would like to run plenty of banners but struggling with the 300 chrs limit. You take all the banners you like, you add them to a program of your choice, you take a screenshot or, for the fancy folks, export all graphics as one big item. Then add this one thing to your signature.
No, I don't like to see full HD signatures now, I've just tried to help.  :P

I might do what some other people have done, which is write the names of the addons I have instead of using the signature pics--it should save characters and space. Using the pictures doesn't do much good anyway, considering that I can only display about a third of the CS products I own.
