    I was trying to change my signituer today and had a bit of trouble with it. Can any one help?


    Here is the Quote:
    Anyone who clings to the historically untrue--and thoroughly immoral--doctrine that 'violence never solves anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The Ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more disputes in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms." Robert Heinlein


    It took a bit but I got it under the 600 charicters but I don't understand the Five lines limit. any suggestions?

    sounds like there is a bit of a size constraint and the quote cannot be larger than 5 lines. Slipdigit will probably see this and get to you on it or send him a PM>

    Thanks PzJgr, I sent him a PM but was unable to help. In the end I cut a large chunk of it out to make it fit.

    Mike,

    What you have showing now is 4 lines long. Did you try using the smaller font size? The default is 2, try 1.

    Default size

    Here is smaller size
    See, it takes up 3 lines now.

    The signature doesn't restrict lines, as different monitor settings will expand the text, the restriction is based on the number of characters, which I think is 256. Let me look into this and see if I can increase the sig text allowance.

    I thought when I joined I remembered seeing something about signatures being restrictected to 5 lines.
