Formatting text in my sig

**GailFan** · January 25th, 2014, 03:30 AM

Hi chums,

Just a quick one: if you look at my sig I have a picture with text underneath. Does anyone know how to format the text so it wraps to the right of the picture, rather than coming underneath?

I don't think that's possible here, at least I found nothing under the BB Code list. The closest you can get is to use a table, like this:

If you find a dead link in my posts, please PM me. My FileFactory Premium account has TrafficShare enabled. This will allow you to download my files as if you were a Premium member yourself, bandwidth permitting.

Kinda ugly, though.

Yeah, the border makes it stand out too much. I'll leave the ugly sigs to the Moderators.

you could combine image and text so that both is part of an image. if you don't have a tool to do this (gimp, photoshop, indesign) you could try it with word and then screenshot the necessary part to store it as image.

but as usual, signatures with images suck. and i will not see them

You cant do it simply because the picture takes up exactly 1 line of text, even though its 100 pixels tall. You'll have to reduce the image size, photoshop it like suggested earlier, or use a smaller font to get it all to fit inside of one line.

Try this.

I've put up something in the test forum for you to have a look at. I can't post it fullsize due to forum settings.

I also don't know what the maximum size for a sig image is for your user class. Mine is 350x100 or 10kb whichever is smaller.

If you have the same limitations as I do on sig size then I can chop the image in half. Then you can post two images end to end in your sig/code to get the same visible image.

Thanks guys, but I'm not keen on the idea of putting text in a graphic. Takes away the flexibility of having a sig.
