G'day cobbers

<font color="cyan"> I've just been trying to update my sig using ubb code to change the colour but every time I update my profile it resets to the original can someone please explain where I am going wrong or if I can do it at all?</font>

<font color="lightblue">There is no UBB colour-change code. </font>

And HTML isn't enabled.

Excuse my ignorance, using BASIC on a sinclair spectrum was my only programming experiance, but have we not just been using ubb code to change our fonts in the main body of the text? and it does state on the info aside your sig box that html is not available but ubb is?

Confused of sydney :(

There are just some more restrictions on the sigs in comparison to the normal post part

<font color=skyblue>Font color changes do not work in signatures.
You have to design something outside and link to it.</font>

<font color="lightblue">Colour change is HTML. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Well, there is a way, but I find it kinda annoying. <font color=orange>It happens when you don't put the end tag on the HTML thing in your main text.

Seen here

heh yeah...

<font color="greengamarine">

<font color="lightblue">That also messes up the HTML on the page, and can corrupr threads... </font>

There used to be a workround that activated HTML code in sigs if you edited your post. That has now been disabled so you'll just have to make do with UBB code in sigs. If you are interested, here is an old post of mine with a HTML enabled sig [img]smile.gif[/img]

Of course, you can always post what you want to put as your signature in a regular thread in the main body, then screen capture it how you want. Use an image editor to capture only what you want in the sig and then save it as a JPG or a GIF. Then you can call the JPG/GIF using the image function. About a year and a half ago, I did just that. If it's a static txt, the image won't be too big, but you still have to watch out for the image size. You can also try integrating it into an animated GIF if it's not too large (I did that too.)
