thanks guys

Rebe

You can change your sig in My Profile.

You can make it colored like mine, but making a dead thread, one you will not actually post. As soon as you get it what you want, hit edit as HTML link on the bottom. Now copy whats there, then paste it into the sig box on the My Profile page.

Mind you, there is a height limitation, most everything will get cut off if its too much. My sig is about the size of the height limit.

Oh, and like the guy before me mentioned, you can not make fancy HTML sigs anymore, and pics wont work either.

Take the blue pill,Ô
Play SWG, never dual-wield your pistols and believe whatever you want to believe.
Take the red pill,Ô
Play MxO, and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

SWG was never the game I wanted it to be, even before the NGE. All the NGE did is take away what gameplay SWG actually did have.

is it possible to use tabels in a signature then?

I've had a couple of people email me about my sig so i thought i'd take a minute and write out how i put it together. It took me a few hours of fiddling with it to get it exactly how i want it (no worries, i did it at work!).

1. Plan how you want it to look first. You have about 6 lines to work with, larger fonts will reduce that. If you are planning to double center like mine is, this is extra important.

Here was my planning for the double center:

1. I took the line with the most characters and spaces and used that as the guide. I added 5 additional spaces to the guide line between the 2 centers so there would be space separating them. (In my case, that was line 2 with 44+5 spaces)

2. Using the count of the guide line, i divided that in half, then in half again to get the center point of the whole line and the center points of the 2 columns (I tried very hard to get the character count in both columns close so that it would be easier to line up).

3. For each column on each line i started at the center of it and set it over the center of the guide column. 4. Spaces don't seem to hold in the HTML so i substitued ~ for each space (if you don't see them in my sig, highlight it).

5. If you are going to try this, do it on paper first, it will save you a lot of frustration.

2. Use the Reply button or New Thread to get to the screen where you'd type a post to the forums. At the bottom right of the typing area are buttons 'Edit As HTML' and Preview Post. These are all you'll need to get your sig and to look at it. You'll be going back and forth a lot between all 3 veiws a lot (3RD is Graphical Editor which is where you started.

3. Enter your sig as you want it to appear. If you're coping it, paste it in. Use 'Preview to see how it looks. Use the font buttons on top to change style, colour, centering etc.

4. When you have it set so it looks just like you want it, click Edit As HTML. This gives you the HTML that you'll need to paste into the signature slot on your profile (see top of screen for link).

5. If it won't accept it you may be using HTML that's not allowed. Don't copy and paste from a word processer (like MS WORD) as most of that HTML is not allowed, or copy a glowy sig, those too aren't allowed.

6. Once you've 'Saved Changes' to your profile, go back to a Reply and type anything into it and hit 'Preview Post' to see your sig. Don't be discouraged if it's not exactly right the first time, it took me many many times to get it right.

7. And here's a link to a 'fader'. I've not used it but it will apparently give you the code to cross fade if you don't have the patience to do it manually.

GOOD LUCK!

1) Reply to a thread

2) In the text area make a sig look however you want with the options available. (Some, but very few outside fonts/colors are allowed)

4) Copy everything and paste it the sig portion of your profile and save it.

5) Repeat until perfected.

It's there, to the right hand side, in blue print, next to preview post, and check spelling. I didn't copy a sig, though that is the easiest way. There are many, many sites on the net explaining HTML code and how to make custom signatures. Just do a search, and all kinds of neat things will show up, including hex code for colors, etc. If you opt to make an orignal sig, it may take several hours especially if it's your first time out with HTML. I found the process very fun though.
