#0, about the sig system
Posted by Xervis on Dec-05-02 at 07:32 PM
I'm really having trouble with my sig, it is constenly "looping", like I have created a new paragraph every 33 or so characters. I've seen just about everyone with a sig that hold s streight line, yet mine doesnt seem to want to. any advise?(PS: I know this a a very minor thing, but its been bugging me latly.)

If we cant laugh during life, why
bother to live?

assuming the above bit is your sig, I peeked at the code
<P>If we cant laugh during life, why <BR>bother to live?<P>Zack<p>

I'm not sure why that <br> is in there, except maybe that you hit return in the text-entry box for your sig...if you did, don't (it'll wrap automatically :)

well, I thought it might have been that too, but I re-typed the message, and it looped auto again, without a "return" key, so I dunno what I'm doing wrong.

That ain't DCF - see my sig for example. What browser are you using? Maybe it is fuxxored.

That explains it. I've heard even Microsoft tech support people complain about what a mess IE6 is.

If you can possibly use another browser, I recommend it. Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, anything but IE6. Heck, even IE5 is better.

I'll second that. 'Upgraded' to IE6 on my home Win2K box and now, when browsing the web for too long or opening too many IE windows it will lock up hard <as in no Ctrl-Alt-Del, which is -not- a good sign for a Win2K box>. I despise IE6 at this point, but being an M$ browser I'll need and old priest, a young priest, and some holy water to be rid of the damned thing.

I had (and still have) IE6 on my WinXP box at home, but rather than try to extricate all the tendrils it has into the bowels of the OS, I just added Mozilla 1.2.1 on top and pretend IE isn't even there any more. Has worked great so far.

Actually, it looks better this time around, having a break at the comma.

Just an observation.
