Signature problem

Post Reply New Topic

I got tired of having to type out Mich at the end of my posts, so I decided to make it a signature. Since I read that you're supposed to use HTML coding, I used <.b.><.u.> instead of [.b.][.u.], but it wouldn't do the bold and underline features like it was supposed to! I used HTML! What went wrong?

You have to do it this way: "[.b][.u]text[./u][/b]" rather than "[.b][.u][./b]text[./u]," the way you have it; without the "." of course.

In other words, in opposite order, "a-b" / "b-a", not "a-b" / "a-b"

It doesn't work!! !

You need to use "[" and "]," not "<" and ">."

Type this "[.b][.u]Mich[./u][./b] without the ".'s" and you will get this: Mich

I'm fed up with this signature thing! So, goodbye signature! For now on...I don't know!

I've been using the bold and underline tags in the "Member's locations (state/country)" thread.

In case you haven't noticed, I got a new signature that has updates about my topics. It currently says:

I too have tried to use the BOLD markers for my signature, but I can't even get it to show up on my posts, even though I have the "always show my signature" radio bo checked.

The issue I mentioned in the Smaller fonts in signatures? thread is definitely related to this.

Why aren't getting our concerns regarding the bugs and ideas commented on and/or answered?

I' ve been trying to use formatting for posts too, and it never seems to work, mostly I just want to use italics or bold, so I select the text I want to format, then click on the appropriate box...and nothing happens!

Can someone tell me the correct way to use the formatting tools?

Bold is [.b]text[/b] ----------------> text
Underline is [.u]text[/u] ---------> text
Italics: [.i]text[/i] -----------------> text

Do not put the "." before each first tags.

errr, not sure if I follow, you might have to spell it out for me, l I'll have a practice..


.bbold/b
bold

uhhuh, just looked at the preview, think I've got it

[.i]italic[/i]

thanks

EDIT: hmm the italic didn't work, I'll try again

italic


EDIT II
ok, bit more practice...

Three blind mice, three blind mice.

OK! so just leave the fullstop out altogether? is it ever used?
