I was recently asked to change my signature as it didn't conform to guidelines. I immediately did it, removing all the helpful links and so on that I had been using. Then I looked again at the guidelines and realized my signature DID conform as it was--it was within the allotted length and font size restrictions and well within content guidelines. The problem arose from the font size check. If you adjust the font size currently using the drop down menu in the forum editor box you will get this error message:
1. The font size you are using is too large. You are limited to using a maximum font size of 10 in your signature. So this is legal:

Can you try for me now?It seems to be working correctly now, but I only gave it a quick test. I'll post again if I run into further problems, otherwise, thank you very much.

Don't be like this: Why waste time learning when ignorance is instantaneous? With the error report:
You may not use more than 3 lines in your signature. Except it's not more than 3 lines...it is three lines.

...can you tell it's a slow work day???

Line breaks will count as a line ..

Line breaks will count as a line ..If that's the case then in effect we really only have 2 lines to work with. Perhaps the guidelines as stated should be amended to reflect that if it what you desire to have. Something accurate like You may not use more than 2 lines and one line break in your signature.
