    2000 character limit for sigs

    Any chance of increasing it? I was planning on using my Last.FM quilt I just made>>

    Which shows my most played albums and the cover art spins round and stuff and looks cool. I changed it to fit into the 80x400 rules but the code for it is 2889 characters

    depends on how big this 'code' is for a dial-up user - its the actual resources and processes required are going to cause browsing speed issues then I won't make the change, please elaborate.

    Well this is the code :S if you've got a last.fm account you can check a preview of on from there if not you could save this code to a txt file and save it as a html file and see it in action there?
    Code:
    <style type="text/css">  
    div.lastfm_quilt_black a,div.lastfm_quilt_black div 
    {  height: 20px;  margin: 0;  overflow: hidden;  text-decoration: none;  padding: 0;  background: url("http://static.last.fm/quilts/buttons/generic_images/bg_black.gif") 
    repeat-x 0 0;  width: 100%;  float: right;  display: inline;}
    div.lastfm_quilt a:hover {  background-position: 0 0 !important;}  
    {if $orientation=='horizontal'}div.lastfm_quilt_horizontal 
    {  width: 400px;}div.lastfm_quilt_black a.lastfm_quilt_artists_wide,div.lastfm_quilt_black a.lastfm_quilt_artists_wide:hover

    Take the styles and put them in a CSS file on your own web space and call it in the <style> tag. Should get you under the char limit and also make sure we're not serving up all that content every time someone views a page where you've posted

    From what I can tell we are.

    Its looks too system intensive, with flipping art work and loading all those files each time.

    No, what I'm saying is you can host the style sheet elsewhere and refer to it in your code and hence get under the char limit.
