How to do signature??

jml · 05-03-2009, 06:12 AM

Hi All~
After 6 years on this site, I'm FINALLYcreating my signature w/dx & tx history.
It's been an interesting exercise, walking down memory lane...

BUT, when I hit "save" I get the following message:

"Your signature cannot be longer than 2000 characters including BB code markup."

Does anyone have any ideas what that means? Or solutions?

Thanks in advance!
