ok so i found a way, using www.tinyurl.com, i was able to convert my links to much shorter web addresses, and now as can be seen in my signature i can fit 4 links and small amount of text

i was wonerng if the character limit on signature could be increased

i have setup a signature with links to my project threads

problem is i cant fit a third link with the current charachter limit, it just goes "..." at the end if i try adding another

i think its a good idea to have a link to one's own projects but this restricts it a fair bit... or maybe it;s a sign i just have too many projects
