signature problem

[duchess1576]

i'm trying to make a sigmature but it keeps saying "error - signature must be under 200 characters" even though my signature isn't over 200 at all! (yes, I counted spaces and punctuation)

I belive that coding is counted as part of the 200

You get 200 plain characters (including spaces). As soon as you change colours or fonts and sizes that eats into your 200 characters.
