Question about signature length · **Released**: 05-06-2003

I'm currently running VB 2.2.7 and experiencing a strange error. The VB options are set to restrict signatures to no more than 3 lines of text. But for some reason the system is ignoring this rule and allowing signatures of any length. Can anybody provide an explanation for this, and possibly a way to fix the problem?

OK I did some research and it looks like signatures ARE set to a maximum of 3 LINES long. But the VB options list this:

Maximum number of line breaks allowed in signatures:

If a user doesn't use a line break, their signature could go on for pages and pages! Is there a way to set a maximum amount of characters allowed for the signature?

This should really be posted in General Hacking Discussion

Sorry. Should I repost this there or will somebody move it over?

as it's a bug within some sort of a hack you have installed it belongs to support.

you should mention the hack url nevertheless

This is not related to any installed hacks, as the system IS working as advertised. Signatures ARE limited to 3 line breaks maximum. What I want to do is also set a maximum character allowance.

of course its related to an hack, because limiting signature length isn't included in an unhacked vb!

While you are correct that I may need a hack to get this to work, what I meant was that my issue is unrelated to any hacks that I have already installed.

BUT back to the topic... shall I ask this question in the support section of the forum?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
