    Default I am getting really upset about the restrictions on the Signature.

    Once a week I like to update my signature to reflect my scores. When I first signed up I was allowed to add 5 Lines, and then it was restricted to 3 lines and now I can't use bold or italics!

    I do not find this to be fair since others that have not updated their signature in probably months are still allowed to have images and over 10 lines of info.

    What is the deal!? I was OK with 3 lines but now I can't use Bold or Italics?

    Example. Please see below. If I update my signature then I will no longer be able to use BOLD or Italics so right now I am at a standstill

    do you highlight the word then click the bold or Italics but it also could be the internet you are using. i'm using chrome and it works on mine.

    I am using chrome myself. All I was doing was going into my Signature and changing the content between the B and I tags and I was given an error.

    let me see if I can get a screen shot for you.

    So someone took B and I away from just ME? That is bull.

    Look below. This is what I needed to settle on

    I doubt that the restrictions have been changed. Whats likely happening is some of the forum setting are not set right. And as your post count goes up its cycling through settings that are either still on the defaults or were not set right back when the system was updated. or the system is glitching here and there. a similar thing has happened with those who can't add images to their sigs.

    I took a look at your sig. and was able to manually enter the bb code.

    Might be a glitch in the system. Try entering BB code manually.

    Bold / Italic / Underline
    The [b], [i] and [u] tags allow you to create text that is bold, italic and underlined.
    Usage

    [b]value[/b]
    [i]value[/i]
    [u]value[/u]


    Example Usage

    [b]this text is bold[/b]
    [i]this text is italic[/i]
    [u]this text is underlined[/u]


    Example Output
    this text is bold
    this text is italic
    this text is underlined
