Have you made the signature character limit smaller? My signature used to fit with the linking code, now when I try to link to my public roams forum in my signature, it does this weird footnotey thing [1], places the link below the signature, and removes the descriptive text for the link because I've run out of characters. Pretty certain we used to be limited to 500 characters in our signature, now it seems like it's limited to 250. My signature is 245 characters (if I remember right), but with the weird linking code, it exceeds it.
Any chance you can up the character limit for signatures, and/or not count formatting/linking code in the limit?
Thanks in advance!

The problem I was having getting my existing signature (which was under 250 characters) to fit was caused by how the new system counts characters. Since you now have to use two returns for a line break, that was adding four characters, plus something else weird going on that I've not figured out yet with how it counts characters.
I got it to link by doing a bit of rewording.
250 characters including counting for formatting/linking/etc code, line breaks, etc., is too small. While I totally understand not wanting huge signatures, the inability for existing signatures to fit without hassle is somewhat irritating.
I do hope you consider raising the limit back up, if not to 500, at least to 350.
Just my two bytes, thanks for all that you do!
