I'm finding it very difficult to put Cyrillic in my signature, is this not an option, or what?
Any suggestion on how to get it in there?
lol
Thanks.

It tells me about my maximum allowed amount of characters, and how I have to add a break to it. But it's only about 15-20, not long enough to need to add a break, even if I try to add one, and split it on two lines, it says pretty much the same thing.
Then it seems like LiveWire has a problem recognising the character length of the field when Cyrillic letters are put into the signature field. You might want to PM David and file a bug report on BugWire.

Right I checked it out myself and it seems that the problem is that the Cyrillic letters are transformed into Unicode equivalents which are themselves made from 6 or more letters (for one Cyrillic letter). This means the character length per line for Cyrillic letters will be far less than for normal latin letters.

This is a limitation that is not LW's fault itself, but the way Cyrillic letters are transformed and handled. There is nothing I think that can be done to stop this, but you can still PM David and see what he says.



Ok, thank you so much for looking into that for me!
I really appreciate it.

Can't you just type in Cyrillic like you would with normal letters. Щр рфшк еруку рщц фку нщг сфт нщг куфв ершы ерфе шы шт Кгыышфтю! That's a load of gibberish btw.
