Could we have a few more characters please? When i'm making tutorials for mybb then putting links to them in my sig they take up like 60+ characters each Sad

Maybe we could have a usergroup for trusted members who can have more characters (and give lower postcount members - more likely to be spammers - less characters)

Thanks
Why not using a URL shortener? Like http://goo.gl/ for instance. If you have a google account, you can also see stats for that link.
Use a link shortner such as http://3.ly/

You get a internets sir.
even then, i cant have many links because giving them text and such is a character consuming process! Big Grin
Have one link to a thread with all the tutorials?
I could do that, but then i have to have a single page with links on. What about if the tutorials are completely unrelated? Many other forums have higher character limits.
It's a signature not a billboard, choose the latest two or three.

I mean how many do you really need? Mark has 4 links in his...
You could be far more crafty with your links.

First link:

[url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=WRKOECPn1l0]Installing MyBB[/url]

65 characters. Could be:

[url=j.mp/lYBfsx]Installing MyBB[/url]

38 characters.

Second link:

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8gPVfRuddw]Upgrading MyBB[/url]

68 characters. Could be:

[url=j.mp/mBtsdk]Upgrading MyBB[/url]

37 characters.

First image:

[img]http://dev-network.com/bar.png[/img]

41 characters. Could be:

[img]http://j.mp/jt0inH[/img]

29 characters.

Second image:

[img]http://t.dev-network.com/t.php[/img]

41 characters. Could be:

[img]http://j.mp/m3Tu30[/img]

29 characters.

That's saved a whole 82 characters already; the first two links take up 75 characters, so there's space for another two links, plus a few extra characters to play with Smile
