The amount of characters allowed in our signatures is a dirty lie

[Regulith]

So apparently the character count for forum signatures is not what it says on the profile page



I tried to add italic tags to part of my signature, which used up 7 of my 9 remaining characters ([i][/i]), yet it chopped a character off the end of my signature anyway

I checked elsewhere, I've currently got 246 characters, even counting the double space, so I can only conclude that although it's listed as having a max character count of 255 that it's actually 252

If I go right to the limit where it says "characters remaining: 0" and click "Change profile" it reloads the page, truncates the last 3 characters from the signature, and still tells me I have 3 characters remaining

I don't think I'm that bad at math so what's going on here

What will we ever do without the additional 3 characters Badspot promised us!

[Kalphiter]

A line is either 1 or 2 characters.

Can we have your signatures BBC?

I can't get 3 characters for some odd reason... every character I type when there are 3 left to be able to type in, it just deletes it AT 3 CHARACTERS LEFT!

When I hit enter twice it counts as two "characters" according to the counter at the bottom of the text box

Character counter confirms it, but do all of those actually show up in your signature?

As I thought, that's it.

Stop having gay oversized sigs and it won't be a problem.

[Lugnut]

the enter key on windows is passed as the "carriage return and new line" while on unix systems it's passed as just the new line.
if you ever spent any time coding, you would know that windows system returns can be used as "\r\n" whereas unix systems use "\n".
\r is one character, \n is another.

Therefore, enter key counts as two characters.
