You could use tinyurl.com to make the URLs smaller?
You used to only have the two lines of the poem...
This is really beginning to irk me...
I needed to add a new URL into my syg for the last workshop thingie... can't do it because it only allows X charicters in syg. OK
Trim down code, use minimal URL's and formatting to get it within this limit... can't do it because it's over 3 lines long. OK
I'll create a thread with the links in it and change my link to just the poem...
Find that it's three screen lines long - page breaks and carrage returns don't really mean anything; if the text wraps onto another line, it's another line. OK
I'll create an image with the poem on it and use that: Image must be xMb or X by Y in size...Images under the limit but X by Y are squished to X by Y. OK
I'll animate the text so that the verses scroll... Animated images are not allowed.
Take out the animation and shrink to just readable... still get the animated message: work out that it's because I've set the background transparent in a GIF.
Fix that, I can now upload the image, but can't use [img] or html tags within the syg to actually use it!!
AAAAAAaaarg!
Help? Please?

Let your mind go and your body will follow. – Steve Martin, LA Story
I can cut them down to as small as Tinyurl does anyway,... and I've added another verse
Some people have sigs much longer than 3 lines long - I guess that's because they had them before the rules changed and haven't changed their sig since...?
Yup - me.
I am happy to reduce the size of it, but I can't do anything clever like wot I would like to because I can't use html or images. There is a hack/patch that allows you to use a [sygimage] tag in the software - that would be handy.
Otherwise you may as well get rid of the 'upload' bit on the "edit syg" page because you can't use the image you upload!!
