Thats the problem. The validation error has changed since the last time i got one, it used to tel you you had exces]dded the number of charectors, 512 i think. I am no computer wizard, but from what i understand, the charectors are the individual numbers, leter and symbols that make up a link. Add that to anything you have written, and it soon adds up. I did a test earlier and was able to have 3 images on my sig useing Flickr, that was more than i had with PB.
You have 2 options. Fiorst is to turn your GB badges into a GIF. The second is to put them all into one image, as i have done. You can see in my sig, this way you can have as many badges as you like.
But be warned, this can annoy people have such a large sig image, which is why i am only adding this as an example.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
