Yes, this is a stupid question. But you know you want to help anyway.

You know those error messages that tell you an AIM away message is ___ characters too long? Is there any way to trick the computer, or something, into thinking it's the right length without ACTUALLY deleting stuff? Change in font, color, size, something? I'm trying to use a quote that I've already butchered to get down to an acceptable length, and now I'm stuck with 26 characters too many.

Argh, I have that same problem, and it drives me crazy! It does that with my profile, too. I don't know how to fix it, sorry, just thought I'd let you know you're not alone!

AHHH. Good night!

i normally don't have that problem, i just use one that i have saved that works for everything, you're welcome to steal it(i stole it from someone else), i just use somewhere over the rainbow, and that works really well

Somehow variations on "I'm gone. Will be back." never seem to run over. :P
