any ideas why my sig. line would be messed up?

redelicious · Apr 14, 2005

I hope this is not in the wrong place. I haven't posted here since the addition of the cafe and I'm not sure what goes where.

So a few minutes ago I logged on for the first time in a day or two. I started reading a thread I subscribe to when I noticed a recent post I made. My sig line was messed up. Specifically the link to my picture thread (which should look like this: Delicious) looked like I had typed the code incorrectly. The odd thing is that that link has been in my sig. line for over a year. I haven't edited my profile in quite some time - except for just now when I fixed the link.

Any ideas how this might have happened?

I'm going to bed, but I will check back tomorrow sometime to see if anyone has any ideas.

i think the admins had the html turned off for 24 hours... for whatever reason.

You misread Manu's post -- HTML was turned off permanently within 24 hours of his post.

redelicious · Apr 14, 2005

Ahha! Thank you very much.

Bob Briton · Apr 14, 2005

Hi redelicious..

Like you I was very surprised to find my sig a jumble of html code. A quick re-write was needed..

Oh well, at least Manu has offered to expand the Vb codes! :nana:

HornyHenry · Apr 15, 2005

Thanks, so how do we put a link in VBcode?

Would have helped if he'd show us an example. We're not all programmers.

There are just too many different things in people's signatures to provide examples.

The signatures now work the sme way as the body of posts always have, so you can use the vB Code buttons in the newreply form to compose and preview your signature as if it were a post and then C&P into your signature.

NOTE: you do NOT have to actually submit a post to check if the formating works. Just compose it and preview it until youget it right and then use the back button or navigation tree at the top of the page to go back to browsing the forums without clicking "submit reply" to add a new post to the forums.

...besides, the vB code is pretty similar to the html, after all. Same size, color, font stuff, as well as the img one

Easy to do, really.

Code:

[size=1]small text, like in my sig[/size]
[color=#333399]weird blue text[/color]
[color=red]red colored text[/color]
[font=times]text in times font[/font]
[img]http://damn.image.link.com/image.jpg[/img]
[email]my@email.com[/email]
[b]bold text[/b]
[i]italic text[/i]

...and so much more anyone can swiftly find into the description of the vB codes there:

thanks so much for posting this link. I've been having a hell of a time getting the one part of my sig to work again. I had almost given up on it.

It would help a great many people if you'd post the code you used to get iMoods to work without HTML.

I didnt even think to do that.
This is what the code is for my iMood thingie now, only with my username in place where it says 'your username' and taking the spaces out of the tags (they were put in so you can view the code).

[url =http://www.imood.com/query.cgi?email=your username"][i mg]http://moods.imood.com/display/email=your username/fg=FF9900/bg=663366/imood.gif[/i mg][/ url]

I basically made some changes to the html code that they gave on iMood. There are 2 parts basically given. You get a code from iMood that looks like this:

<a href="http://www.imood.com/query.cgi?email=your username"><img src="http://moods.imood.com/display/email=your username/fg=55555/bg=55555/imood.gif" alt="The current mood of your username at www.imood.com" border="0"></a>

I took out the html tags, linked the url tag to just the address in the first bit (<a href="http://www.imood.com/query.cgi?email=your username">) using the tag. Then added in the image tags for the image itself. So the rest got added in with img tags. I took out the <img src> and the quotes and omitted the "the current mood" statement and ended the image tag. I'm sure most anyone can figure it out comparing it between the two.

Thanks.

I didn't think the IMG tags would work with the iMood graphic. Mybe I need to experiment with the IMG tags a bit to see what esle has changed about it.

Here are all the codes we need

A quick Lycos search (I don't Google) turned up this good web page with most of the code we can use here in Lit. It would be good to sticky this info or make a file somewhere where we can all access it. It looks like lots of us need the info.

This page even has examples at the bottom.
Cheers, MF

Willing and Unsure - you are welcome

Glad it helped... :kiss:

Weird Harold - well, why they should not? If the link of the image is direct, then it must work. And using link from image is standard linking of two commands procedure, so...

The true challenge nd question, how this board is setup will be use of generated raphics by php script - eg. the "picture line" not ending with gifjpg/png/bmp or what the hell, but with just a PHP, witch is unvalid link for image and only return the generated image, w/o any direct link to it

Thing like it was used for folding fig by Liquid Ninjas, it looked like this:

http://ax2.old-cans.com/siglikethis.gif

...untill the excess bandwitch forced they guys to disable the signatures for all other folding teams, except LiquidNinja ones...

So, it can't be easily tested right now...

It has been my experience that most links with "=" in them don't hotlink well with the IMG tags -- even if they end with an image format identifier.

trodas · Apr 16, 2005

True

And imagine getting to work link like this:

http://www.liquidninjas.com/dc/ln_dc_sigs.php?xfahuser=trodas&xskin=Zyzzyx&xfahteam=31574

(notice the =, & and ? characters

)

But in vBulletin it was never a larger problem. Free phpBB got problems and need tweaking and even commercional InvisionBoard need a little trick to make it work - it can't be inserted like normal IMG tag, but allowing htm in sigs and wiriting it like html code. When you hit the update, it get converted to the "vB" code with the image tags, but this time it works. Editing means you lose the sig again. Pretty weird still.

So yes, there should be problems, but = char is IMHO reasonable one

Things could be worser.

Far worser!
