Following the guide in the FAQ section I have been trying to make a mulitple lines house name as follows.....

\#66ccff\==\#6699ff\==\#6666ff\==\#6666cc\==\#663399\==\#000077\==\#663399\==\#6666cc\==\#6666ff\==\#6699ff\==\#66ccff\==
\#DDDDDD\SPQR Pharmaceutical Goods - Coming soon!
\#66ccff\==\#6699ff\==\#6666ff\==\#6666cc\==\#663399\==\#000077\==\#663399\==\#6666cc\==\#6666ff\==\#6699ff\==\#66ccff\==

When I paste that into SWG it says name changed to

======================

SPQR Pharmaceutical Goods - Coming soon!

======================

(Note: not written it here in colour)

However, when I go outside and look at the house name it only shows the top line (===============)

Any clue what I'm doing wrong?

There is a character limit and all those color codes count against it.

You're probably exceeding the limit in the first line of text.

Try making a 'non rainbow' line of ='s and see if that helps.

Ya I think the limit to the number of characters is 128 or so. And the color code characters do count towards the limit.

Ive also noticed that sometimes if you add a bunch of crap(like a lot of ----) you can make some work. When you copy it into the name, just delete any extra --- you have. Seems to work for some names that arent excessively long

I usually test my signs in /notepad first...gives me a good idea of how it *should* look...

I've also seen the same issue you describe and by chopping off a few characters it seemed to help me...
