The coding you've included counts in the signature length, and as mentioned in the error message, long lines may be automatically wrapped, thus creating a new line. If you pull out some of the color tagging, you'll be ok.

I pulled some un-needed formatting out of your signature. Try to add your third line now....you should be ok.

Disregard this. You're all set.

While I'm busy blathering post after post...here's some helpful advice....

If you apply the same formatting to individual lines, it will actually put the formatting tags in for each line, which counts against your sig length. There is no need to do this.

For example, you applied the font and size properties to line 1, line 2, and line 3 individually. That means there is a [font][size] and [/font][/size] tag on each line, when all you needed was a font/size open tag at the beginning of the first line and the closing tags at the end of the last line.

Your last line, because of this in addition to the red text, was probably too long and got wrapped, making a 4th line.

Hope that helps.

You can see the formatting by clicking on the format toggle button in the upper right corner of the edit box:

It just gives you the opportunity to see the formatting that's inserted by the formatting buttons used in the normal "WYSIWYG" mode. In this case, it showed how much unneeded formatting was inserted to make each individual line black with a font size of 2 (12 tags total, 2 opening tags and 2 closing tags x 3 lines), rather than applying those properties to the entire block of text (4 tags total, 2 opening and 2 closing).

Since I do HTML and vBul tags so frequently, I actually prefer to work in 'raw' mode and just hand type the tags.

Thanks for the explanation! Makes sense!

Also shows how much I still have to learn!

I just thought signature limitations were when you sign a great big X?
Thank you for the detailed explanation for everyone.
