~~craig588~~ · Aug 25, 2003, 02:02 PM

I want my sig to be set up like this, but thr size settings will never take effect, whats going on?

Computer 1: AXP 2100+@2345MHz~3000+ 138MHz FSB | r9700pro@366/346 Omega drivers | 768M Crucial pc-133 ram 2-2-2-6 138MHz | Soundblaster audigy 1 on KX drivers | 4 80gig western digital 7200rpm 8MB cache in raid 0
Computer 2:AXP 1800+@stock | R9500np modded to r9700pro@ 324/310 | 60Gig 7200rpm 2mb cache maxtor | 256M Generic PC2700@133/ 2-2-2-5
Compter 3:PIII933@960 (what a crappy overclocker) | 512M of micron pc133 cas 2 ram @ 137MHz/ 2-2-2-5 | 20Gig 7200RPM 2MB cache WD | Gainward GF4Ti@328/60 (Somethings screwed up with the ram)

Nothing is working, it won't even adjust its size when I post it in a regular message.

What code are you using?

Try [*SIZE=xxx-small] blablablablabla[*/SIZE]

obviously without the star, your probably doing SIZE=0, or 1.

~~craig588~~ · Aug 25, 2003, 02:12 PM

I tried size=10

does this work?

Try SIZE=10, or SIZE=11, the text above is 11, might work for you....

~~craig588~~ · Aug 25, 2003, 02:26 PM

It's not working for you either huh?

Zardon · Aug 25, 2003, 02:34 PM

it does on the blue theme but the new theme No.

as we're using a strict DOCTYPE is has to be valid
Colour codes like ffccaa now need to be #ffccaa
Size needs a unit. So [size=16] no longer works. Instead use [size=16px] for pixels or 85% for a percentage of the base font size (my preference).

For my sig, I use "size=10". Don't know if that helps.

~~craig588~~ · Aug 25, 2003, 02:36 PM

[size=16px]Does this work?[/size]

To expand on what Zardon said:

The blue heaven style was written to work with browsers in non-standards mode.

This new style is not, meaing, [color=ffcc00] is invalid, and you need [color=#ffcc00]. The way you were doing it before was not valid, however, in non-standards mode, the browser assumes you meant to have a # there.

The same thing applies to sizing, before, when I didn't have a valid HTML DTD, the browser would run in quirks mode, and would assume you meant pixels if you typed in [size=16], you must now specify what unit you are using:

px = pixels
pt = points
% = percentage relative to the size around it.

Example usage: [size=16px], [size=10pt], [size=85%].

Also note that it is possible to shorten the hex colors: #ffcc00 -> #fc0 or #112233 -> #123
