BBcode in Signatures suggestion

BBcode shouldn't count as characters in the sig size limit.

Re: BBcode in Signatures suggestion

Agreed, but it's kinda hard to implement... Neither should URLs in [url=blah][/url] code...

Re: BBcode in Signatures suggestion

I agree! It isn't like BBCode is contributing to signature size...

But as JSO said, it'd be hard to implement.  neutral

Re: BBcode in Signatures suggestion

You could just make it format the BBCode first, then count the characters.

But then I don't know how images would work.  hmm


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: BBcode in Signatures suggestion

Maybe there's a plugin out there...

If not, this is the MIT Media Lab we're taking about. They're the reincarnations of Einstein.

Re: BBcode in Signatures suggestion

Well, There's probably another way to do what you want. 
Like to put more links, use url shortener like: http://bit.ly or http://is.gd
or put text in images...

Post your desired signature and I'll help you make it work.
