As you can see, I only have three lines in my signature, but when I go to add anything I get a message saying 'you are only allowed six lines in your signature' and telling me to remove some. What gives? Is it more about the number of words rather than lines? :mad:

The restrictions are laid out in this link: Signatures
I think too many lines is the default error message, even when the problem is actually too many characters.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

Ah, thanks fermi. I read that when they first changed but I only remembered the six lines thing (thought it says five there, oddly). It's the 300 characters thing that has scuppered me then. How annoying...0

Hi sarahs999
As Fermi says its most likely to be the character count. The issue we had was whilst your signature is nice and compact, we had people double spacing them and increasing font sizes etc. Obviously to the other forum users this proved quite distracting when following a thread. We had to apply a standard set of variables to all accounts.
On a side note, well done with your MoneySaving - looking at your signature you're making some real progress :beer:

This is what your sig actually consists of:
Now do you see the problem?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Maybe start a new signature from scratch using just the plain text?
When you then have the content you want you could add in some formatting, colours etc and see how much the board will allow before it complains.
Although, you must be near to the character limit even without the formatting.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
