Can't add a signature - Eyren - 02-09-2020
i just tried to add a signature with my location, etc, but I keep getting a 403 Forbidden error. I tried logging out and logging back in, but no luck. Are there restrictions on the board that I'm not aware of?

Hello Eyren
Were there any pictures, emojis, or strange symbols?
Can you post it in a response to me?

Hi Eyren. I can't see anything in your settings that should stop you adding a signature - although I tried adding one for you so if anything odd appears it was me.

It was nothing weird at all - just a couple of lines, centred:

I was able to edit it - maybe my original attempt was too long? If so, the forum software is very unhelpful!
ETA: I've used an online character counter to check, and even with all the BBcode, it's only 180 characters - well under the limit of 255 - so I'm at a loss!

Try lengthening your signature until it reaches its limit?
I don't know whether there is a limit, sorry.

OK, I've found the culprit - you can't put quote marks in your signature, for technical reasons that probably won't interest anyone here.
So, my signature has to say "let us" instead of "let's"
