First of all, Hello. I've posted this question on another forum and a moderator told me to try posting it on the "game guides" section of the forums, so here i am.I just wanted to know how you can change the color or add the special effects to your "signature" in your profile. I've seen tons of ppl with really cool looking signatures saying their proffesions in different colors and stuff and wanted to know how i can do that? I think it might be some kind of HTML but i'm not sure. Thanks in advance!

The use of the HTML style tag has been disabled until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.

First you just select reply to any message... once to the screen where you reply, simply type out what you want your signature to say. At the top select your font name, size, color, etc...


Once it's the way you want it... at the bottom click "edit as html"... from therehighlight all text, then copy/paste into the signature section of your profile and save.


And that's it


You dont need to preview postor anything like that... it will automatically update to any of your other posts when saved... just go back to a previously written post and check it out.


Hope that helps

All of the really cool signatures you see are done with the use of the html "style" tag (style sheets). They have disabled the ability to save your signature if it has those tags in it now. So those of us who managed to keep ours, are stuck with them either looking cool.. or up to date. I haven't been a swordsman in months....


EDIT: The "style =" in the span tag is being edited out by the board. How sad.


Mine is like this ( replaced the "<>" with "()" so it would display):



(center)
(span **edit**" font-family: Timesnewroman; font weight=1200; font size=12; filter: Glow (Color=#2F4F4F,[br]
Strength=1); width: 100%; color=#FFFFFF")Ka'oan Noboru - KEA(/span)
(span **edit**" font-family: Timesnewroman; font weight=1200; font size=12; filter: Glow (Color=#2F4F4F,[br]
Strength=1); width: 100%; color=#FFFFFF")Master Heavy Swordsman(/span)
(span **edit**" font-family: Timesnewroman; font weight=1200; font size=10; filter: Glow (Color=#2F4F4F,[br]

When did this happen?


Also... have u guys noticed that the signatures all seem to be cut off?For example my signature has a waypoint underneath it. But i can't see it, i also see typing on other signatures that are cut off halfway.

Does anyone else have thisproblem?


Or is this just my screen?

I've noticed this same thing since I first signed-up. And here I thought it was just me... and the 6 different computers I use at different times to access these forums.

The height of the signature seems to be fixed, but you can put in as much as you want. So everything too large will get cut off. Also if viewed with less width that happens.

My desktop resolution for example is 11xx * 9xx or something (too lazy to look up) and I only noticed at work that my signature is completely messed up in 1024*768.

Try to fix the width of your sig somehow, like using black underlines without spaces inbetween - I do that, mark the red line left and right. this fixes the problems to a degree.

Thanks for the help. Yeah I noticed that i cannot see the waypoint in my signature on my new computer, yet my old one allows me to see the whole signature. I'd like to know when I can color my signature again. Until then I'll stick with what I have now.
