BBCode in my sig

Post by jaded melody » Sun Aug 28, 2005 2:46 pm

When I try and change my sig it says i cant use several BBcode tags which are in my sig but in my profile its set to always allow BBcode. Can someone help? :-?

Several BB Codes aren't allowed for use in signatures... I can't remember which ones.

Code: Select all

[b][i][u][color][quote][list]
it says all of those are off. They worked fine before though- have the rules changed?

they haven't deliberately changed - board software randomness I think.
Should be ok now.

I am also having trouble with this... I've tried color with no success, and I'd like to put the text in the ctr & make it smaller as well...

Help appreciated! :)

Perhaps this post will help you figure it all out? Color, size, and center are all turned on functions. Let me know if it doesn't help.

Thank you, Mardy!

Hmmm... well, I'm making progress... got the center figured out, at least!

Can you use more than one color in a sig? And for the size feature, I tried to set it size 10 for the entire text, not just that first part, so I don't know what happened there. You can see how the color turned out...

Thanks again for your help :)

OK you should have sig options again .. it was disabled .. sometimes the system works in mysterious ways.

LOL! Is there a ghost in the machine??? The sig reappeared for about 30 seconds, (and during that time the size was still screwy, though everything else looks good...) then it all went away again!

I think I'm catching on to your tactics here... distract us with magical computer stuff & - voila! - no si! :wink: (Kidding, of course!)

Thank you all for your help, btw!
