Sig question

Postby Aethers » Fri May 22, 2009 12:09 am

Does the 250-character limit on sigs mentioned in the "Sig Policy" announcement include tags? For example, my sig is 218 characters if tags are not included in the count, and 247 characters if they are.

Thanks in advance for clarifying.

Er, since noone has replied I'll hazard a guess: probably not, because tags don't actually show up?

Sorry, didn't see this. It's with the tags. Tags are also part of the text. I think.

Well, since I've received conflicting replies from players I'll wait till a mod responds.

Mainly I'd like to include links to my past parties in my sig, but even the link to my active party would have gone over the limit if I hadn't used TinyURL.

Sorry for the double post, but I'd appreciate it if a mod could respond with a clarification. For the moment, I'm conforming to the more strict of the two interpretations. However, it would be nice to be able to include more links in my sig.

Again, thanks in advance.

I would have to suppose the more rigid interpretation. The limit has always been based on the restrictions posed by the forums, and that factors in tags.

This forum, or Takeforum? I see no reason for not allowing tags, they don't interfere with what forum users are forced to see - which is what matters.

Well, the limit's not exactly the same (255 as opposed to 250 in the rule), but it won't make all the big a difference in terms of allowing another URL. I have the minimum anyway. Thanks for the response!
