Hello, is my signature legal? Also, why is there a limit on the lines in a signature?

by **The Orwell Society** » Sat Apr 23, 2022 1:42 pm

Hello. Would I be able to unspoiler my sig (which was spoilered by the mods for being too long) if I removed the OOC information spoiler? I really like my sig and I don't really want it to be hidden behind a spoiler.

You'd need to fit it all within 8 lines if you unspoiler any part

What is your definition of 8 lines? Do you mean like this?
_{1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8}

Yep, rules say no longer than that - and just fyi, it should be 8 lines as they would appear on a desktop widescreen monitor (as opposed to mobile or a smaller monitor). Spaces (clarification: blank spaces) also count for lines

Thank you for the help! I will try and work with that.

Is this better?

No, but I made it legal. Blank lines count, and you had too many of them.

Copy/paste the code for your sig and I can take a wack at it.

Yeah, but I think I can make it look better.

Use [floatleft] and [floatright] wrapped around your spoilers instead of [align] tags.

I tried that, and instead of the \ it currently is, it formed an upsidedown L

currently:

Code: Select all: [floatleft][spoiler=postcount]Port Blood +1946 Blood Wine +1855[/spoiler][/floatleft][spoiler=Quotes][quote="Discoveria";p="22325425"]Port blood is a raider through and through.

(see above)

I think this might be your closest, most concise bet:

(edit: code no longer needed)

Hope that helped

Rather than post some complex code, I just fixed it for you.

The trick is to lead off with your floatright, then put everything else under floatleft tags.

bb code is really imprecise

I wanna put both spoilers on the same line, can anyone help? Thanks.

also here is my sig code

Code: Select all: [align=right][spoiler=sig]Canon or Non-canon, [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?t=514915&f=25]This thread[/url] is the best thread! And it's dead for being a spammer hotspot. :( I base stats on NS stats, so don't bother asking me. I'm too lazy for now, but I might do it in the future. Now my new favourite thread is [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=516576]this thread[/url] and [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=516737]this thread too[/url]! The first thread's got V2, which is [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=516926]this thread[/url], and the second one I am now bored of it because I am too lazy reading all the Backrooms levels. As of 16/4/2022, it's already on about Level 60! Tell me how I'm gonna read it all!? Now the thread that got V2 has a [url=https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=518803]V3[/url] now, which is epik[/spoiler][/align] [align=left][spoiler=Who I Am]The guy that hangs around the NS TV Show thread and the maker of the SCP thread. I love to RP, but not too heavily. Come hang with me![/spoiler][/align]

Replace your align tags with float tags.

Why isn't the quote tag working in my sig (check nested spoiler)?
