My sig has changed since Reppy used it as an example...

One question, if you change the font size of your sig to, say, 50, and you have 9 lines, is it still overboard?

That's one of the touchy grey areas, though a sig with a long line that wraps to 9 lines but in a small font is more likely to get a pass than one that's at normal (or larger!) font sizes.

I put some of my stuff in a table would that be effective?

Using the Float Tags would be more efficient.

We should be able to put a spoiler in a spoiler. Think of the possibilities! Lists galore!

That should be posted here. Also, you've been told numerous times to stay out of the Moderation forum unless reporting rulebreaking that affects you directly or defending yourself in a report. Don't force us to start warning you again.

I had my sig edited. I was like AAHH THEY DELETED IT then noticed the new 'spoiler' tag. Lol.
It's the 'fear us' spoiler tag.

It's just until I can muster the energy to make a full factbook entry.

Unless there's rulebreaking material in a sig, when I edit one for length I do everything I can to leave all the content intact.

Is my sig okay? It's 4 lines in my computer :unsure:

by **Samozaryadnyastan** » Tue Jul 26, 2011 3:15 pm

You have 4 lines of written text, but the quote box will make it about 5 lines.

Still well under 8.

You could use Floatleft and Floatright to make the sig as allowable. It might be a little tricky with how much information you have but I believe it could be done.

by **Eslovakia** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 10:55 am

Never thought of the float thingy.

Thanx x)

by **Shazbotdom** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 11:11 am

I think you are still a little bit over the line limit. I would put the ascii flag as aligned to the Left and the spoilers and the link to your storefront floated to the right.

by **Eslovakia** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 11:51 am

Like this?

by **The Republic of Lanos** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 11:55 am

Yes, like that. Your sig now reads at 6 lines to me.

by **Shazbotdom** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 11:58 am

Yep
Exactly what I was talking about.

by **Eslovakia** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 12:27 pm

Thanks for the help, much appreciated

by **Maravannea** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 12:34 pm

Would my sig here be okay?

by **Shinjitai** » Sun Oct 02, 2011 12:36 pm

Is my sig okayy?
