Notes signature change error

Every time I attempt to change my Notes signature I receive the following error after making the change and clicking OK.

Notes error: Field is too large (32K) or View’s column &selection formulas are too large.

I called the IBM helpdesk and they had me replace the template. The template replacement did not make any difference and the helpdesk said that they do not support the signature functionality. I am still unable to change my signature and am still receiving the same error when I attempt to do so. This must get resolved.

Notes version:
IBM Notes 9 Social Edition
Release 9.0.1FP2 SHF37
Revision 20140804.1000-T00037SHF-FP2 (Release 9.0.1FP2 SHF37)
Standard Configuration
L-GHUS-968PRV

As a result of this error, my old title continues to appear.

Subject: Sounds like your signature is too large

You can try reducing the size of your signature or try storing it in an external HTML file.

Hi Chad. I did create a .gif signature and also attempted rtf, nothing seems to change the output. Same error. Very frustrating.

Subject: Do you have access to create/run agents?

If yes, make a backup of your mail file and try to delete the calendar profile. You will lose customizations, but you may then be able to create a new signature. Instructions on how to do that can be found here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21088892 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21088892.

If you don’t have that level of access, you probably want to open a help ticket. Some field–likely in the calendar profile–is overflowing the maximum allowed size.

Subject: I believe youll need to delete the profile, too.

A user generally only has support to edit the profile, not actually delete it.

After backups Talk with your own admins about deletion:

Dim sess as new notessession

Dim db as notesdatabase

Dim profile as notesdocument

Set db = sess.currentdatabase

Set profile = db.getprofiledocument(“CalendarProfile”)

Profile.remove true
