Space

Worthless · Post by **Worthless** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 12:20 am

I've been pondering over this one for a while, and so figured I'd post it-

How come, in the sig space, some people's sigs have no space left between the end of their sigand the profile/pm.msn/www etc buttons, and others do. I have space there, but I have no extra lines entered on the sig part of my profile. How do I get rid of it?

(sorry- if I'm not being clear, an example is (just random people here- just happened to be reading posts of people mentioned, no other reason), I have a space, but myownworstenemy doesn't, and I want to know how to get rid of it.)

Woah- that is freaky- it decides to go, like after months of changing my sig around slightly to try and get it to go, just as I make this post- now that's just taking the mick

You just can't trust sigs nowdays

not there for me on either..
if there's any html on the end of your sig, make sure it's all in line with the last line, if that makes any sense, like, no enters.
that might fix it, but I have a feeling that you already tried that

Yup, have tried that- hmmm, this is just weird, because you're space doesn't show up for me, but mine does, and I'm guessing from what you said that it's the opposite with you, which leads me to think 'it's all in our heads'!

But seriously, Hmmm, I dunno, ah well

hmmm okay, _AFTER_ you made that post I went and changed my sig to put the html all on the same line like I was saying, and that seems to have removed my space.

Hmmm, looks the same to me as it did before, still with no space!

Hehe, this is quite weird!

it's probablly a web browser thing .. that's my best guess. I'll check it in explorer later, but if I do that now, all my lovely orange flags will disappear and I'll freak out not knowing what posts I've read and which ones I haven't.

Ok, thanks

*editted as she notices the evil space has grown on this post!*

Proximity · Post by **Proximity** » Sun Mar 21, 2004 1:12 am

ok, no space in explorer either, though stuff does look like crap as explorer is known to make things look

ummmmmm
maybe it has to do with if you were the last person who posted, or if someone has posted after you?
like how the edited # thing changes ... ?

what on earth are you two on about?

I wondered the same

I think they answer is alot simpler than you think...

it's dependent on your avatar needing a given amount of space. Therefore it depends how long your post is. If you imagine a 1 line post, and then stick your avatar next to it, in terms of size, the avatar takes up more room. If you take a 20 line post, the post is far longer from top to bottom than your avatar; the avatar then needs no extra space to show itself, the result being that there is no gap between the sig and msn buttons.

*marvels at how he made something so simple sound so complicated*

I'm guessing this post will result in no space between sig and msn row-type-thing

...yeah...whereas this one will have a bit of a gap (1-line-post)

oh yes, I rule

Electric Sunday · Post by **Electric Sunday** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 5:10 pm

of course, if you have a really long signature like Prox, that just confuses matters, since the signature takes up more space than the post...

Proximity · Post by **Proximity** » Thu Apr 01, 2004 7:47 pm

hey, now, I like my sig...

I think you nailed it, though.

the key is to have a longer sig!!
