Signature length

Any chance of getting this increased?

I can't fit all my clubs in my sig anymore...

I may be wrong, but I believe all the font code characters figure into that as well. If you lessen the changes in your font you would likely get more characters. You are only using 309 character for text and are allowed 500. So you are using around 200 in font codes. Mine is 495 without font codes and put me to the limit.

so for example this:
test

is 46 character even though it is 4 letters.

If you allow more, you are likely going to end up with guys using 2 pages of signature if they don't use fonts.

Again, I may be wrong though.

Fair call. So what font should I have that is the least characters?
And I'm assuming I'll probably need to take the colours out too.

Probably dump any size text in say the course and capm and color changes in the club, even the smilies take multiple characters. Just gotta weigh what you want and what is important. The text, or how it looks.

So in my example:
test

the code was this:

... this is also not to say Sling may not allow it to be raised, just pointing out why you are running out of characters. That would be his decision.

Why not just abbreviate?

Taylor Made = TM

That'll save you a bunch.

Or you could sell some of your clubs that you don't game! That would difinitely make your sig smaller and your wallett fatter

Started doing that now, Taylor Made is pretty much the only brand I have that I can abbreviate though...

That would go against everything that I've been taught here. Should I go against my teachings?

Good luck with that one! If it works, tell me what you used to bribe him.
