Hi,

I don't know why this is, but I am having problems with a signature. I would just assume use HTML for a signature. That worked for maybe a day, and now its not -- and I do not know where to turn that on (could someone tell me please)

But if I use the board code, and my signature is coded as such:

Ken Edwards
BG News - Webmaster
Meancode Media, LLC - Founder
Breaking Windows - Blog

It turns out looking this this:

Ken Edwards
BG News - Webmaster
Meancode Media, LLC
Founder
Breaking Windows -
Blog

I assume these breaks are because that is where the Board code breaks in the edit signature box. But why? there are no hard breaks inserted. Why is it wrapping all ugly like this?

I will try and add my signature here and see what the result is.

Thanks for your input.

Ken

I found it, HTML has been enabled in signatures. But all that shows up is the raw HTML in my signature.

Wow this is really wacky, now it is showing the target="_blank" as literal text. what the heck? Taking out the target blanks seemed to work. I don't know why it would not work with them.

Now I have the HTML version in, it seems like it is reading the HTML, but I still get the odd breaks.

Why?

ok, use BB code or html.

with html, it has to be all on one line or it will insert <br />'s in your code and break things.

For eg:

or

OK something is terribly wrong here. At least thats what I am thinking. My signature worked yesterday when I input it. Now it looks like crap.

If i input the HTML version all one one line, as you suggest. I this:

Ken Edwards
www.bgnews.com/">BG News - Webmaster

href="http://www.meancode.com/">Meancode Media, LLC - 
Founder
www.breakingwindows.com/">Breaking Windows - Blog

The BOLD tag works.

If I turn HTML off, or just leave it on, and use MyCode, it looks like this:

[b]Ken Edwards[ /b]
[url=http://www.bgnews.com/]BG News[ /url] - Webmaster
[url=http://www.meancode.com/]Meancode Media, LLC[ /url] - 
Founder
[url=http://www.breakingwindows.com]Breaking Windows[ /url] - 
Blog

It says on the Edit Signature page my settings are as follows:

Smilies are On.
MyCode is On.
[img] tags are On.
HTML is On.
Max length is 1024 characters.

So what is going on here?

You're not supposed to have a space on [ /url]. The reason why k showed it with a space as MyBB woudl parse the code and actually make a URL, or bold the text, would have been useless to you.

Yea i just noticed the spaces myself. And yea i just thought of the board parsing the code too. Its been a long week, heh.

It still wraps all funky tho

I am thinking it is Safari. And it would not surprise me in the least. It does funky things. Editing in Firefox seems to fix the problem.

Sorry for all the commotion.
