Hello.

Short Version

How might I go about allowing the administrator group to have a different maximum signature length in terms of characters?

TL/DR:

Long-winded Explanation:

As an administrator, I want the ability to have a quite lengthy signature (in terms of maximum characters allowed).

My signature is nearly 1500 characters because it looks like this:

- For support, ......................................................
- For rules, ..................................................................
- For events, ..........................................................
- Our mission, .......................................................................
- If you need immediate assistance, ...................................

^ You get the idea.

But I don't want any other users or members to have a long signature for the usual obvious reasons.

How mayhaps?

If its just used once the best solution will be to make the change directly in the database.

^ This is a possibility. Do you know of any alternative options without going to the database?

^ I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking why I don't want to rewrite a 1,500 character signature and append it to every post?

Otherwise you will need a plugin i think. Cause the signatur limit is global and not group related.

That's good to know. Thank you.

Do you any idea what sort of database query I would need to run?

Any recommendations as to how you might go about it?

Note: I'm also going to post this as a Mod Request.

Thanks for your time.
