This is not a huge issue, its a fairly small one I must admit. But its still a little annoying to have to use a FSP or remove a b/u/i just to get what u want said the way you want it.
So this is my petition to see if they will do it. Feel free to sign this thread if you agree.

Remember that you posted in the 'Suggestions' section of the Forum which means you should be proposing a suggestion, not a petition. Also, since this being apart of the 'Suggestions' section there may be few people that disagree with you that wish to voice their opinions. Try to remember that the 'Suggestions' is for suggestions not for petitions.

Also, it barely costs anything to upgrade your bio

I know its not a big deal but it can be annoying to get your bio exactly the way you want it, with no need to change it for a while, and be like 1-10 character off... If the bbcodes are excluded from the character count I think it would be a bit better.
Like I said, not a major thing, just something small I think would be better if changed. And it would be a very quick and easy thing for Hunted Cow to do. Whats the harm in trying to get them to take 2 minutes to give us more character in the Bio? Couldn't hurt.

Lastly, I think the OP has a right to post it in suggestion - while it is labeled as a petition, a petition is essentially, at its core, a suggestion for change in direction. Here, the OP wants it to not count unseen characters. So while it doesn't purport to be a suggestion on its face, his idea, is in fact, a suggestion.

They aren't html codes... they are bbcodes :roll:

And what if your bio upgrades are maxed? I don't have near enough bio space... Pennah needs more upgrades please

Didn't you make a thread on that at one point?
Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

This right here is a great reason to have the bbcodes omitted from the count. I am nowhere near max but I did have to use 1 extra FSP than I wanted to add a small amount more which could have been done without the FSP, I'll likely spend it later anyways but I like my bio as is for a while to come.
Thanks for the support guys. Still a low vote count yet though, so we'll have to wait to see what more people think.
Thanks to all who took the time to read, vote and/or post on this thread. Agree or not, I just want your opinion

If those aren't counted, then epople will start arguing that spces, etc, shouldn't be counted...

x
and any punctuation marks
any letters that are repeated in a single line (i.e whyy)

I do NOT think it should cost to buy spaces for unseen text. Charge more for it if they want to, but I think its misleading to count unseen characters, personally.

i agree with both of his points, but also when people have maxed out there bio space if they are use lets say 100 characters for codes and what not, thats 4 fsps just for all the codes and what not, now im not saying that its expensive to buy more bio space but that is very important bio space that every one chould be using, infact i have had to cut stuff out of my bio just so i could do the codes and then on top of that i have had to cut coding just to do it ( although my bio isnt maxed ) this would just be a very nice addition to the game
My $1.36 :wink:

Two more pennys
My bio is maxed, has been for some time. I can't put near what I want into it, but I could if the bbcode characters weren't counted. However, I do understand why there is a limit. It works in the same way as your forum sig folks. bbcode counts there, as well.

That being said, I think it is quite reasonable as is. If you *need* to post more than the allotted 2130 characters, post a link. Really, how many people do you think are actually going to bother reading a short novel in your bio space?

Now, I love having plenty of space to say what I want to say, and maxed out my bio space within minutes of finding out it was expandable.
That being said, I think it is quite reasonable as is. If you *need* to post more than the allotted 2300 characters, post a link. Really, how many people do you think are actually going to bother reading a short novel in your bio space?
Who gets 2300 characters? Maxed is 2130
