Issue: Rather silly problem with the signature editor

[Dawn]

So, I have my sig all set up right now. It's pretty dang close to the character limit.

On my top bar I have a bunch of [title] tags around links.

If I change the to [???=""] and the closing tag as well it puts me over the limit.

Obviously, this makes no sense because the ??? tag is just the title tag without the annoying dots. So, why does the ??? tag count towards the limit? I'd like to use it, but I can't. =<

You don't need "" for ??? Tags.
Or that's how it should work before. I have a suspicion that the tag itself is disabled according to PC's BBCodes List.

Dang.

Dang.

I edited the signature manually through the Mod CP, and the BB Code Parsing was shown as text. When I say that, I mean that it looked like

[???="Battlefield: Heroes (Free) ||| Left 4 Dead 2 ||| Left 4 Dead ||| Super Smash Bros. Brawl"][URL="https://leviathanyello.listal.com/games"]Current Games[/URL][/???]

Figured it was the quotes, like dead-man-walking stated, so I took them out, and it didn't change anything. So I'm also under the impression that the tag itself is disabled. You'll have to wait until an administrator comes along to really verify if the tag is disabled, removed completely, etc. and the possible reason for why. But I figured if it was counting towards your limits, it would have worked in the Mod CP since it's exempt from the character limit iirc.

Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong?

You did not.

Well, it seems that it's because the code itself has been disabled at about 3PM GMT +7. At 2PM GMT +7, it still works. I dunno why though.

Indeed. It works, it just counts towards the character limit. For instance, if you edit one of my much shorter title tags, like say the one around "Lover" it won't pass the limit and you'll be able to see that it in fact does what it's supposed to.

My next question is why would such an awesome tag be disabled in the first place? The only thing I can think of is perhaps there's some wayward security problem. I can't imagine what that could be though.
