Ok, I can't figure this out. I know the html to do it, but I can't make it work... I want to do a table in my siggy.. so that its not all stacked... I tried...

CODE

[TABLE]
[tr]
[td]

[/table]
[font=Geneva][color=purple]Paranormal and Urban Fant. swap:
my reveal: Moonshine (Roc Fantasy) by Rob Thurman
Have reveal for: redhotbrat, cheriepie
Moves: (haven't started yet)[/color][/font]

but that didn't work. I tried it with < > instead of [ ] but no luck. I thought I saw a code somewhere that Cherie used where it forces html to work, but I can't remember the code :shrug:

I know its something really simple that I'm just not getting... could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can fix my siggy?

Well, here's the code for the table in my sig...

CODE

<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="5"><tr><td><img src="http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/PepperVL/Banners/pepper_01a.gif">

Basically what I'm seeing in yours is if you did the html brackets, you have to change your image tags to

CODE

Also... you missed an opening td after you closed the td after your clock.

The code you were looking for is

CODE

[do html]

but sigs do html automatically so you don't need that.

I wouldn't bother converting the entire thing to HTML like Pepper did, IMG tags and all. Instead, just mix the two, using the HTML code for tables, and keeping the rest of your code in BBCode.

True, there is a code [ doHTML ] that will allow you to post standard HTML code in your posts, but since as Pepper said, signatures allow HTML anyway, that's not necessary here.

Here's my signature so you can copy what you need from it for an example:

CODE

<table border="0" align="center" cellspacing="20">
<tr><td align="center">
[color=#6600cc][SIZE=4].:~)O(CheriePie)O(~:.[/SIZE][/color]

*laughs* It's 1,000 times easier for me to type it in HTML than it is for me to type it in in BBCode.

I HATE BBCode.

I meant my comment more towards Lei since I think she already had the majority of her siggie in BBCode, and converting it all, esp the IMG tags and stuff into HTML would be a huge pain. :P

Thanks chicas!

I agree with both of y'all... I'm more of an html girl myself.. I'm just used to it... but I'm lazy and don't wanna change it all :P

Off to give it a go and see how it comes out! :wink:
