Signature editing bug?

    A few days ago I tried to edit my signature and it gave the error :

    Your signature can not be longer than 250 characters including BBCode markup.

    But it is only 225 characters (including markup), and anyway my editing wasn't adding any characters, I just want to change the $67 to $55.

    Then I tried again today, this time it says my signature can't be longer than 350 characters, but it's still only 225!

    Anyway, until this is fixed, can a mod please change the $67 to $55 in my sig. Thanks!

    FOr sale for only $55?
    Or is that as shown on your website $55 per domain?
    Confused as your sig says all for $55.

    Many people are facing problems regarding their signatures.

    This is some bug with the new VB beta, i think it would be fixed soon.

    All the features in Beta version are good but the length has made a problem.

    It is sometimes showing a max. of 250 and sometimes a max. of 350 characters.
    I had to decrease the no. of characters in mysignature due to this :(

    Whether 55 or 67, your sig says "Sale - all now"
    Meaning that ALL domains are $67, so I or someone should be able to buy them all for that one price.

    Be better to put in, "SALE - ALL $67 EACH"

    It seems this is a matter of personal opinion - I think if you ask 10 people what it means, most would understand without any doubt. Are you suggesting that some people would actually misunderstand and think they can have 1000 domains for $55? Or are you suggesting that I'm trying to trick people! I think it's pretty common usage to not use an 'each' on the end when it's extremely obvious...

    When you see a store with a sign "Everything $1" I guess you must walk in, hand over $1 and say "Can you give me a hand loading up my car, I'll come back with a truck later to pick up the rest." :)

    You Said all these but u are wrong :)

    What i thought was also same as iowadawg said.
    You should not think what ur heart desire, you should think what the buyer thinks about it.
    Are u buying or the people seeing it are buying?

    Okay then, well i'll definitely take it into consideration. Thanks.

    Thanks for pointing that out, the numbers in the image are correct and I realized my mistake - my text program was counting the number of characters as 225, but I just double-checked and it turns out that it's 225 just in the last line alone! The total is 512. So I guess when I made that sig, the accepted amount was much higher, or there was a bug which has since been fixed. Thanks for clearing that up. Guess I can't edit my sig until the limit is increased again or the bug returns ;)
