Okay, thanks for cleaning it up, Fris.

Thank you!

No problem

You need to use float tags.

Aw, hell, I think my sig's breaking the forums. Like, it does that weird thing where after I post every other post looks like it's kinda indented, but I want to keep my sig the way it looks now, with the centered table and centered spoilers in the cells and all. Any way to keep it looking like that and not break everything?

I'm reasonably sure I've seem similar sigs that don't mess with the forums. Could you post the code?

This is what I managed to get it to look how I want it to look. Unfortunately, it breaks threads and murders puppies or something.

Found it, mis-nested tags:

Code: Select all

[align=center][table][/align]

[Frisbeeteria]

Aw, hell, I think my sig's breaking the forums.

It definitely breaks the "8 lines, including blank lines" rule. It's almost impossible to use Table code in a sig without exceeding the 8 line limit, so I'd definitely remove the table code and substitute some float tags. Using {align=center} tags on every line also increases the size and complexity completely pointlessly. Get rid of all of them except one at the very start and one at the very end, and everything inbetween (except [float]ed stuff) will be centered.

And the extra blank lines preceding your Futbol support - lose 'em.

[Cata Larga]

Right, thank you.

[Cata Larga]

Fixed somewhat, but if you look under the middle spoiler, the word "Storefronts" is off for some reason.

[Frisbeeteria]

It's centered between the left and right [float] items on the same line, not the page borders. There's no way to change that, so you'll just have to live with it.

Right, thanks. I actually found a way to fix it, though - I put all the content between the spoiler codes within blocktext code. Works like a charm.A

As an aside, how does it look?

[Barcavina]

Other than my factbook, is there anything else that I should add?

This isn't a content review thread. It's just about formatting and layout.

Is this okay;

It's not breaking the rules, if that's what you mean.

That's what I meant. Thanks.

Dear Frisbee/Reppy,

Is this allowed? I'm only asking because I have seen things like "Happily married to X" or "I wubs[sic] my Y" and even what I consider "obscene" quotes in sigs.

If it doesn't fit and is allowed, I'll either take out an unfunny quote in my "Souls" (it's an inside joke I have going and the thing is, I steal the souls of those who say absolutely hilarious things...) or maybe even the Anti-M&R punchline...

Also, could you please tell me if any of my "Souls" quotes are allowed for sigs?

NOTE: You might get a red box because of Unicode issues...

Code: Select all

Don't see anything wrong with anything currently in your sig or the proposed addition. Saying that you miss somebody (and hearts!) is a pretty far cry from anything obscene. Though if there is stuff you actually think crosses the line, please let us know in the sig reports thread so somebody knows to take a look!

Thank you so much Reppy! I can rest easy now!
