Since upgrading from 1.2 to 1.4 there is an issue with signatures, which are now apparently too long. It seems that Mycode is counted as part of the signature, even though the setting for this is set not to include MyCode in the count. One of my members has been told he must remove 2000 characters, although without the MyCode his signature is only 200 characters.
EDIT: Just been trying it some more and whether you choose yes or no for that setting makes no difference to the count.
Hmm well if the signature settings is correct and mycode isn't counted in the length then it might be actual length limit in the database field.
Go to PHPMyAdmin --> Your forum database --> mybb_users --> and what is the length limit of the signature field?

I've been there but there doesn't seem to be any length limit given there.
It shouldn't give a length so that fine :p
Do you have any plugins installed that may affect this?
I guess that nobody else has experienced this problem?
One other thing I found out is that if I amend a member's signature myself it allows me to put ANY number of characters in, regardless of the stipulated limit. Is this meant to be the case?
Is settings.php CHMOD to 666?? If you're saying that setting didn't take effect it sounds like settings aren't saving.

Yes I checked and it's 666. I think it had to be because all other settings take effect OK, it's just this particular one that doesn't make any difference.
I got a friend to try it another mybb forum and it wouldn't work there either.
EDIT: I tried to make the same signature here too and it wouldn't work here either, but of course I don't know what setting is used here, so that may not be of any significance.
Hmm, it seems to work if you set the 'Allow [img] Code in Signatures' setting to No... then the limit takes effect... it's working the wrong way round. Seems like a bug to me, I'll report it in the bugs
Can you tell me what combination of settings you used exactly, as I had already set the 'Allow [img] Code in Signatures' setting to No ?
Oh, sorry, copied the wrong one, I mean the 'MyCode affects signature length' setting, doesn't seem to treat MyCode as it should.
