a little help here.

Ok. I tring to change the picture in my sig. Just change the picture. I did the stuff needed and when I click preview or save I get this message saying that it can'[t be no longer then 500 characters. I try everything like getting rid of my dancing pokemon but it says the same thing. Can some one help?

That means your picture is either too big, or the link to your picture has too many characters

duh

I thought that too but I took out some things and still it wouldn't work.

Characters refer to the actual letters, spaces, symbols, etc. in your signature--it has nothing do to with the physical size (height and width) of the objects in it.

If you have too many codes or really long image URLs that's your problem. o_o; If you're using the WYSIWYG editor, that may be your problem--often times it'll add codes you don't need. (Like if you want the whole signature to be orange it might put [color] tags around every line rather than just putting one tag for the whole thine.) If you haven't already, try doing your sig formatting manually so you don't waste any space with your tags. Otherwise, cut down on the formatting you're using and see if that helps at all.
