Signature issues

Hi,

I am having issues with my signature.

Before today it worked fine but I wanted to change out some of the pictures I used and now I can't seem to center or get the text to load correctly. Displaying any of images seems to cause all text to disappear and If I remove the pictures altogether it won't format the text at all.

For Example:

I had this in my signature (save bracket style):

{div style='color: #B20000;font-size: 2.000em'} {center} Not all those who wander are {b}{i}LOST!!! {/center}{/i}{/b} {/div}

and it would display like this:

[div style='color: #B20000;font-size: 2.000em'] [center] Not all those who wander are LOST!!! [/center]

Now, as you can see below, it small and grey and wont center. I am using the same exact characters as I used before and it USED to work till I simply changed out a picture link address today. Did something change?

The Admins changed the style sheet to make it so people can't change the formatting in signatures. Make7 Oct 2013 #1

I was unaware of this.

So, just to confirm, there is no way to adjust the signature color or even center it now?

There is a way to override the new signature style declarations, but I am somewhat reluctant to put it in a post for everyone so they know how to do something the Admins are trying to prevent. It's not difficult - a couple people already started doing it - so you can look at what they did and copy it. But the Admins changed it for a reason, so they might elect to start requesting that people not override their style sheet if a bunch of people begin to do so - or they might go one step further and make the override not work as well.

As an alternative, you can always copy and paste something at the end of every post to act as a signature. I have an add-on called Paste Email Plus in FireFox that I use for pasting text I use a lot. Right click in a text box, move the mouse the select your user-programmed text, left-click. Done. Really easy.
