    I think having a sig limit of 500 is a bit too little as URL links COUNT towards said limit. -_-

    Is it possible to have that changed? To something like xenforo where URL links don't count towards the text limit? Or have the limit raised?

    We're looking into this right now, we'll get back to you soon.

    Character limit has been increased by 200. That should cover URL's I believe.

    What kind of urls are you trying to feed into it? :/

    We don't want urls becoming too big, which is the reason for the limits in the first place.

    I'll raise it, as there isn't a way to discount bbcode from the limit. However, there is a limit of 8 lines and one 400x100 image that won't be changed.

    My quest URLs... ^_^;

    I'm not arguing for longer lines or bigger pics... just more text. @_@

    Right now, am just monkeying around with setting up archives and stuff...

    I do NOT envy Chibi-Reaper when he has to port his archives over...

    *shivers*

    Heck, I don't envy myself either when I do my Sakura Quest ^_^;

    Indexing is going to be a bitch.

    You don't have to.

    Once someone has made an account, they can PM me on the old forum with any quest archives they want moved over, and I can move them. Free of charge.

    Also, we've completely changed how the signature limit works, now you're limited to seven lines, no character limit. Let us know if that works.

    The way it will work is that Wizard will have copy each post over manually.

    So in a couple days, the other forum will have posting disabled.

    As an admin, I can individually move posts over, I can't move whole threads, so its a lot of work. I can do it for anyone who asks, but I can't just do it as a blanket service. Its a lot of work, but I'm willing to do it for anyone who feels they need it.

    If it fits in the limits and follows the rules, it's acceptable.

    Of course. Shall I start moving some of your threads/archives over?

    Don't worry about it. ^_^

    I've got it under control... transferring stuff is... easy as copy and paste~

    Well, I've already moved the important bits of my game thread over, so you needn't worry 'bout that.

    Although, admittedly, I'm not as incredibly popular a writer as, say, Chibi- So I'm not sure if it matters one way or the other.
