Looking at your siggy, it has a lot of random HTML in it - all the code looking stuff. That is probably causing your problems because that is a LOT of extra characters. Try going through and removing everything that is surrounded by < >, like
HTML Code:
<MARQUEE WIDTH="100%" BEHAVIOR="scroll" SCROLLAMOUNT="5" DIRECTION="left">
If you want something to scroll, go ahead and put [ marquee] [ /marquee] (only without the spaces after "[")

yeah i already removed all the junk that occurred when the board switched and i always use to have it marquee so i know how to do that, it's just that when i did all that, i got told twice that i had too many characters/items. i guess because i have two tickers, a siggy of my son, a sept ddc tag, and a lot of blinkies. i just want to know how many i actually have to delete!

it didn't save any of my changes since it said i still had too much stuff, that's why you can't see what i already attempted!

Hm. Well, that stinks, LOL. I don't know the exact values, but I'll poke someone that does and see if they can take a look at it for you.

I'm still seeing the html codes in your siggy. Try and erase the html again, and then see what you can do with your sig.

I think I got all the extra code edited out of your siggy. could you try again and see if it will let you make changes? Rach may need to take a look.

so i just went in and all i added was the marquee codes to make stuff scroll and i got this error message:

You have included 40 images in your message. You are limited to using 30 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the BB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.


i deleted 10 blinkies and this time it saved (although i swear that didn't work before), i guess now anytime i want to add a blinkie, i will have to delete one. bummer.

thanks all!
