How do I fix my sigline so that I can

[GreenPartyVoter]

make paragraph breaks and use colored fonts n stuff?

Whenever I use html I just see the code in the sigline. Do I use brackets or what?

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Seriously.. would like a little color and some line breaks in my sig.

Pretty please?

2. I wish I could

but I'm cyber challenged ... sorry GreenPartyVoter

3. For paragraph breaks, put [br] in the text where you want a break

For colour, I am not sure.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Am trying that, but no dice. I used a bracketed link code twice in my

current sigline but all I can see is the text..unhyperlinked

4. Use the square brackets found above the Enter key instead

of the pointy ones that are to the left of the ? key

7. and don't make me regret this advice with

this tag

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. I think I will pass on the wacky tag *g*

6. Use BR with the square brackets

worked for me anyway. :hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Ok.. that worked but I still can't the hyperlinks or font colors to work

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. hyperlinks

[link:url here|text here]

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. I tried that and it did make hyeperlink.. just made the text grey. Still

it's better than the mess I have now.. YIKES! *lol*

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. Here you go

[font color="#990000"]your text here[/font]

This is red, you can use whatever color you like.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Well.. we're getting close.. still a little bit funky looking, tho *l*

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Weird.. that election reform hyperlink isn't actually using the whole addy

and yet in my profile area I can see it just fine in the text box :crazy:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. That is odd....

If you can get that link fixed, the rest looks good to me.

Good work and a great tribute! :toast:

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. It refuses to fix itself *scratching head* Hmmm. But anyway.. thanks

for the help and the kudos. :hug:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. You're welcome

Try and scratch the whole thing and retype it. Sometimes I'll make a mistake and my eyes refuse to see it... They think they're infallible. :eyes:

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. I'll try that but honestly.. I have looked and looked and have not seen

where this electionre.htm thing is going on. So far all I see is the correct addy. (I may just give up and link to the main page. It seems to accept that one ok.)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. That is weird if it will go to the main page..

We need someone much wiser than I am to figure this out.

Perhaps, post it in plain text in the computer forum and see if anyone can fix it?

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. I might try that. :^) Or maybe the forum is freaked out because the end of

the url is the same as the text I wanted to use for the link? Who knows.

Or, there is an anti-election reform gremlin in the server eating the code. :tinfoilhat:

11. To make color font

use bracket < then the words: font color= (then name your color) then end bracket >

To close the font color use bracket < then backslash / then word: font then end bracket >

To make a paragraph break:
bracket <, then p, then end bracket >

To end the paragraph break:
Bracket < then slash /, the p, then end bracket >

If you want a double-space break uses bracket< then br then end bracket >
You use the same with the backslash to end the break

If you want a line in between the two sections use bracket < then hr then >
And back out at the end using same with the backslash.

If you use a combo of say the font color and a paragraph break, be sure to back out in the backwards order of how you started the text.

For example:
you enter your the use of bold (bracket the letter: b then end bracket), and a font color, you must back out of the html by entering what you used last.../font and then the /b to end the html.

Hope this makes sense :)

NOTE!

The BRACKETS are the keys next to letter "P" on your keyboard. In posting, my using the bracket key turned into greater than/less than marks...don't know why, except that because the brackets are used for html, it translated the text.

Hope this didn't confuse you!
