I bet that Dwight will wait a while - its still REALLY new..

The PM preview is one o fthe reasons I took the chance on the upgrade - there are lots of other features I havent messed with yet. There is a new automatic infractions system - I can get it rolling in an attempt to keep Tex in line... :evil:evil

I made some small changes based on the new signature limit features - the registered users group has NO signature allowed - the Participating users group has a slight ability to use Sigs and the Supporting members have nearly carte blanche ..

I just edited my sig and added one line, then rec'd this error:

"The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
Your signature can not be longer than 300 characters excluding BB Code markup.
Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 15 line(s)."So I actually deleted three lines and still rec'd the same error. I know mine is over the 15 line limit- I guess I'll put in more of a paragraph format. I'm pretty sure I'm under 300 characters

I missed a setting - try again - you should be fine

Nice catch
the product that makes that work is not updated for 3.6 yet - I set the page to forward to the forum home page till I can fix it
