Recently, I have been constantly editing my signature and about me. But something has been irritating me. For one, the signature has a small limit of characters and it should be bulked up more, maybe to 2,000. And for the about me, I like to have a lot of detail, coding, and pictures in it. But it has a max of 2,000 characters, which should probably be bulked up to 5,000. Is it possible for Pokeheroes to do this? Or will this cause some lag or coding issues. I've been meddling on this topic for a while. :/

As far as I remember, we've increased the About Me limit twice before, because users always complained.
And even if you might not believe it right now, but if the limit was increased to 5,000 now, it would only take a few weeks or months until someone comes and suggests a 10,000 character limit.

However, there is one major tip that you can do to use your About Me more efficiently:
Use Link Shorteners
If you are using links or images in your About Me, it is always best to shorten the link - for example by using http://goo.gl

As you can see the second link is over a hundred characters shorter than the first one. This way you could put up to 6-times more images/links in your About Me.

I just tested that with your current About Me (which contains 4 long image links), and I was able to reduce the character amount from over 1,200 to only about 900:

It's pathetic! You can't give into fear in a fight!

When you're dodging, think "I won't let you hit me!" When you're protecting someone, think "I won't let you die!" When you're attacking, think "I will cut you!" ~Urahara Kisuke[/i][/size][/color]

It is the exactly same About Me.
