Is my sig too looong, and what can I do about it?

[Hellfire.SWE]

I tried some colours in my sig, and som font sizes, and as I got 3 computers the sig gets very long.
ANy good adavice thanks :afro:
dahh... bring on the bad ones too for fun :afro2:

p.s. my third one is just a tiny server, a P133 with a adsl connetion, does anyone know how to run that without a monitor, as PCAnywhere or something, but it that safe, anyway Im going to buy I new rig a replace it.

[The Baron]

1. Yes, it's too long.

2. Use the smallest font size available for EVERYTHING.

3. Don't use any line breaks. Let it wrap and use spacers like a pipe or something.

[The Baron]

Dear God, it does wrap.

Then in that case, just link the specs somewhere.

[Hellfire.SWE]

funny it seams long anyway

[Hellfire.SWE]

but I guess it will look like a mess of lots text

[Hellfire.SWE]

but what else could I do to make a bit spicier :afro2:

thanks a bunch Baron!

[Hellfire.SWE]

I could put a link to more...

P.S I like your avatar very interesting :D

[Hellfire.SWE]

yeah I know...
but I don´t like the 120gb + 120gb style... it don´t mean ****, and I know 99 of 100 people don´t give **** what I got in my box, but as I think I will post in some hardware related threads, I for one think it counts.

How about if you DVS helped me out with a nice avatar :D

as my is just an 1st attempt ani gif... 20k is not much when theres a lot of colours.

oh no its invisible...

[The Baron]

still way too long. WAYWAYWAY too long.

shrink the friggin font NOW.

[digitalwanderer]

I liked the colorful one better.

[The Baron]

Dig, you should get rid of two of those boxes in your sig. Just because I have to read the boards at 800x600, and I want you to suffer with me.

[Hellfire.SWE]

Here are the font sizes avaliable

small
large
huge

I have used the small, size=1, in my sig, how can it get any smaller that way ?

[Hellfire.SWE]

Hi dig

Yeah i´m with you, as it seams a bit cold with so much black, maybe a softer black but gray doesnt work, and red is some what too much, for me anyway. I will find a way to link soume stuff, howabout that:afro2:

You have to restate your fontsize on color changes, notice how all your black letters are medium while the colored ones are small?

Baron: What boxes? :confused:

[Hellfire.SWE]

what did happened when you qouted the font sizes?

I does work with the size thingy now, but its a very ugly looking code:barf:

[Hellfire.SWE]

How do you pros handle the code ?

with the standard inbuilt web interface ?
or an external program ? if yes, then which one?

I gonna see if Homesite can help me out, well it just do search and replace on single words, thus no scripting.

Is there any good search replace programs that can be scripted.

ex.

here is some code

the wrong size

Search and replace "[_color=black]" with "[_/size][_color=black]"
... for every colour
Search and replace "_" with "[_/size][_/color]"
"_" stands for wrap

well I dont know how to show the code without the colour codes active so I´m not wasting more of my time with this, actually I got around it , with the [_ thing, you get the idea.
