    I have very long urls, it is limiting my signature length :(

    URL length shouldn't be counted in the signature length limit

    i guess the affiliate links are pretty long, and it is better that the chars are short! anyways, it is not going to increase!IMO so forget it,

    rather get the top level domains in the signature, that will be nice, i actually don't prefer deap linking all that:rolleyes:

    I guess the URL that you're trying to put in your sig is just too long. I'm afraid that's the consequence of placing long URL's in you sig.

    If you are linking to threads you can do:
    [thread=320193]this thread[/thread]
    Which is certainly shorter then:
    [url=http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=320193] this thread[/url]

    Both show up as:

    Well tinyurl.com is best for you but it does not help you in SEO. You should remove http to make some short URL.

    If you use Tinyurl, you won't get the backlinks from DP then
