Hey guys.

Just thought I'd give you all a little update on a new (and terribly exciting) change to the website.

That change is: lovely new allowance for HTML scripting in signatures! OoOoO! AaAaAh!

What does this mean for you?

Well, it means that you can edit your signature to include lovely graphics and things. Please check my own signature, as well as Pandamonium's for examples of this.

You can change your signature by hitting 'My Settings' and then 'Edit' on the top right of your forums view, above the main forum titles.

All you need to do is search Google for some HTML basics and use them here. Please keep in mind that any abuse of this feature will result in heavy penalties, and possibly the removal of the feature altogether.

As a point, the line used to break your signature from the post should be included in your signature as the following code at the top:

"(hr /) "

(but using <>'s instead of ()'s)

Another thing to note is that I have corrected a problem which seemed to be taking place in the Public Forums, which resulted in people not being able to create threads with the DNN editor and being instead forced to use a basic white text box. This is an old issue which has now been resolved, and you should be able to post with the DNN editor in the Public Forums now.

Good luck, make some nice signatures and make this place a bit more colourful.

One other thing to note, if you currently have a signature and were using ___'s and ---'s to make the line break, when you edit your signature, be sure to remove them and replace them with (hr /) (using <>'s instead of ()'s).

Please post here if there are any questions on this new feature.

The path of the righteous raider is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil hordes. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the noobs through the valleys of Northrend, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of epic loots. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to gank and pwn my brothers. And you will know my name is Kann when I lay my post upon thee.

There's no options for signature limits in my admin control panels, and there's nothing saying there is one... next time you see Loviathar you might want to ask him about it, because I reckon that if there is a signature limit that it'll be something that will need to be corrected database side, which I don't have access to.

Were you trying to put the Magna Carta in there or some shit?
