Nope it doesn't fit. Just cuts off half a line of text.... ah wait... now if my resolution allowed more room for text to go sideways... then cherokee 4.0l wouldn't be under your tbird picture. 1024x768!

Oldraven, text next to a photo in Internet layout terms will, by default, line up the text on the bottom of the pic. We *should* be able to put a line of HTML code in there to make the text align in the middle of the photo. That way if the text meets a box limit, it puts the line right under it. I think that's what's happening on screens that can't go very wide, and thus Claude's problem.

Something like that...if you can't do it on your end, I can sneak into the admin CP and do that for ya.

Thanks Eric. If I'm too thick to figure it out, I'll let you know.

*edit*
Will that work with img tags?

Hmmm...fits on my computers just fine. I'm showing a 337x165 dimension, well within the allowed specs.

Are you using a Mac? Raven's fits on a the MacBook but not one my PC with 20" LCD monitor set at 1600x1200 res.

It fits on my PC @1280X800...

As for the scroll mouse users: Running this board is like trying to run government. All about compromise. Any choice we made would have pissed somebody off. Looks like you guys got the short end :D Joking apart, aside from killing sigs altogether I see no better solution.

The Powerbook, G5 (Safari) and the PC at work (IE6, Firefox) all show Raven's sig perfectly. So...I don't know what to say. Haven't experienced any issues with his sig at all.

If your text size has been increased then the signatures size will be different..

This is how I like it... well actually I just hate signatures... I have one because I'm too lazy to go into the control panel and turn it off.

Well, I guess it has been said. I like having the sig pictures on there, as it makes it easier to keep the posters straight when you have a long read.

As stupid as this may sound, I often use sigs to wuickly find posts in threads too. I can scroll through them real fast, and look for the sigs, then when I see whoever's I know posted last, I've found were I left off reading. It's kinda convienient. Although it'd still work with a regular sized sig too.

Not having a lot of time to spend on the forums, I didn't get a chance to post any input but the solution turned out to be a good one.

I would like to say though, that I find the signature images very useful for the reasons quoted above and a few other reasons. I've been to boards with only sig text, without the sig images, and I can't keep the conversation straight in my mind. My eyes pass over all the sig text unless it is brief, witty or hyperlinked.

These images are like our individual faces in real life. They help me quickly identify and remember the speaker. (Sort of like a finger print or wait, paw print. :D

I wish they wouldn't change so much though because I recognize people on here by their signature images. It's like Russ and Audrey in the National Lampoons Vacation series.

I agree with Zach though that there were some signature images crazy big.
