Can I change the font size and color in the sig?
when I enter HTML code it is automaticly removed...
It bugs me that my Yoda line runs over two lines on some resolutions.

Ahh,
Signatures can appear at the bottom of your Posts. This option may be disabled by the message board administrators at any time, however. You may use UBB Code in your signature, but not HTML. UBBCode Images are permitted.

Now I understand!

If you were to invest in an extra <enter> after each line, the quote would be grouped well enough that people wouldn't get confused.

Now I'm just testing.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to do color that way:

From ubb code page (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=ubb_code_page)
All current UBB Code options are listed below.You might try a bulleted list.

Yep, migh try that.

Ruatha

And again, then I might accidently delete some of the sig.

Oh, but I need to mention - there's a bug in the bulleted lists - the first item in the list sometimes goes away:

 One Two
Was produced by
[LIST][*]Zero
[*]One
[*]Two
[/LIST]

Hmm, there could be situations where that's useful, couldn't there? http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/FIREdevil.gif

It seems that when trying a bulleted list the darned thing deletes the first item in the list. So after checking and then updating again it deletes the next item in the list and so on.
Arghh.

EDIT: Hmm, and now you tell me!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Guess, I'll skip that bulleted list.

FYI: editing an old post, even if you don't actually change anything, will immediately update your signiture.

Good, that will save me some useless Posts in the future!

I might make a picture for every link, the way I want it and then use the picture of the formatted text instead of text.
Something like this:

That ought to work.
But not tonight.

Yes, but what happens when you are on the other forum background color?

Ruatha

June 20th, 2003, 11:26 PM

Darned, didn't think of that!

I can make the background transparent.
I'll do that another day though.

In the meantime, making sure your Posts end up on the dark green will fix that.

Oops. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
