See in my signature, at the end? Where it says Coma White, but the e is missing? And also in the personal text, theres a space where there shouldn't be. But every time I try to change it, it says it's changed but it isn't. It says I still have enough characters left in my sig, so what's the deal with that?

I don't know about the space, but I do know why your sig is truncated.

You have a certain length allowed for your sig, but that includes every character entered there, not just yours.
Because the YaBB people include a little bit of code at the very end of the sigs for safety purposes, and this is counted in the limit for the number of characters in your sig.

There's another thread about that here somewhere, I'm gonna see if I can find it...

Yeah, here it is: Signature Length Issue (http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=news;action=display;num=1113895907). A much better explanation than I can manage. it was all the way on page 5... I didn't know I've been reading this forum for that long.

The space is there to break up long words so the text wraps.

Thanks for the help. I suppose I'll have to squeeze it in some other way.
