Reppy's Sig Workshop - A guide to building forum sigs

[Furry Alairia and Algeria]

Goes like this:

Not really.

For some stupid reason, you have to lead with the {floatright} content. Next should be the {floatleft} content. Only then do you use the {align=center} content. That keeps them all on the same line.

I was giving the coding of his sig to Mouse...

[Frisbeeteria]

I was giving the coding of his sig to Mouse...

Not really helpful, and not what Mousebumples had requested. Mods can view sig code directly, so the assistance was both incorrect and unnecessary.

I realize you're trying to be helpful, but you're trying too hard. Back off a little.

Yeah, but I could have figured that out myself. I wanted the exact coding so I could try to fix it for him and make the easy copy/paste bit into his sig much easier for him.

Is it possible to have the Sino Japanese Union on top of spoilers, or not?

[Frisbeeteria]

Is it possible to have the Sino Japanese Union on top of spoilers, or not?

Sure. A bit of experimentation moving it ahead of the float tags should make it quite clear. We're not here to do all your editing, just help you out with problem areas.

Dear Mods,

I wanted to know if this is verboten or not to put in my sig. Yes... It's true... I'm just scared that this will stir up a LOT of controversy, and my inbox will probably explode... I once posted that I was what I stated I was below, only in the Sexual Orientations and Gender Identity thread and...

They wasted the rest of the page (6) AND half of the next page (7) grumbling about me... I'm not sure if this would constitute as trolling or not... :/ I just want to make sure... I won't post the code: one can easily get the code by pressing the quote button

NS's resident Ex-Gay

^NOTE that the bolding is under the umbrella of the bolding in the "Me" spoiler of my sig. Thus, it is not "new" bolding, per se: I am just trying to cut down on the characters, just in case I run out of room...

You can't see "Ex-gay" in the dark theme.

Why did you have to spoil it, Keys...???

Going by that logic, that means signatures themselves are invisible in Dark theme...

It's because it automatically flips dark text to white and vice versa.

You just left off a closing bracket on your spoiler, and left off a closing [/url] on one of your links.

All that BOLD and color doesn't make you stand out in a crowd - it just looks like you regurgitated a box of crayolas. Simpler is better in graphic design - a lesson that doesn't seem to find a home here often enough.

I believe this might have fixed the problem. Your /floatright should have been first at the end since the table was first at the beginning, though I'm no moderator, I might be wrong

Thanks, furry. I'll wait until a mod weighs in to try it out, though, because A) I'd like confirmation, B) I'm supposed to be doing homework

[Reploid Productions]

Well, Furry's test in the post above doesn't seem to have broken anything. Typically, if the page display breaks, it'll be a mis-nested quote, box, align, spoiler, or table tag at fault.
