Can you please please please remove your sig? It's making all the posts that come after it cram over on the side of the screen and go all wonky, and it's REALLY distracting. Thanks!!!
Or does the great and brilliant Robbie have a way of making the posts NOT go wonky? That's another solution...  |

Yeah, just sent a PM to NancyBrooke about this as she also commented - I'll need more info.
On my screen, the posts do NOT go all wonky. The HTML code is displayed raw, precisely to prevent this kind of stuff hapenning. This is by design and how it should be. Nowhere on this site should you be able to "inject" raw HTML as it is a potential security risk for the end user (yourselves).
It's a worry that two of you are indicating a problem - this will probably be a fault of your browser. I'll look at the log files tonight to see if I can spot a similarity between yourselves to find out how to stop this.
In the meantime, Leila, if you want a picture, please keep it to a reasonable size. A large one in the sig just means more scrolling up and down the page to read the posts. We have the "avatar" feature preceisely for that reason - go to your profile and add a link to the external file. If you need help shrinking it a little, just let me know and I'll help you out!
Please don't take this as a ticking off - we send those by e-mail  Welcome to the forum - I hope you continue to participate.
If either of you want to contact me, click on the PM button just below this message.

It does it on mine, as well. Everything following the post with the sig is squished way over on the right-hand side of the page. I've got IE, if that's significant.

Very significant, and very worrying. We use IE, and it appears as it should. We do keep up to date with the latest security patches, but even something like this should not show! I was expecting to find it was the AOL browser or something unusual.
Will dig more tonight.

I also use IE, and it's got to be something to do with that sig, because it happens after every single one of the posts with that sig in it. Like Ellbee said, it squshes everything to the right side of the page, and I mean everything, even the bit at the bottom that says "Open Scrolls Forum Index -> General Discussion -> Boromir Does NOT Have a Big Nose."
And no, this was in no way meant to be "mean" or otherwise to the Legolas-loving sisters. It was just driving me NUTS!!!  |

OK - quick workaround. Go to your profile and select yes for the options about allowing HTML code, BB Code and the other one. (Note surte which fixes it til I investigate.)
I'll remove the sigs from leile and LegolasLover (sorry ladies, but this is security boo-boo on my behalf) and will fix the issue tonight.
Sorry for all the troubles!

Update - Their sigs have been stopped, and whilst a vast security hole exists, I've stopped anyone from editing sigs at this stage. Will rectify ASAP.
Sorry (still)

And finally, all fixed : 
Leila and LegolasLover will need to change their sigs back to as they wanted it!
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yo the Man! Bravo! Bravo!
do.
P.S. doesn't stop the fact that a big pic in a sig line is a bit hard on the download time...

I know - I've dropped a PM to Leila and LegolasLover apologising for allowing them do be blamed (it was my fault - should never have been allowed). At the same time, I've repeated the request to insert the pic in the avatar spot (size limit of 100x100 pixels )
I've scanning for anyone else who may have used this loophole, and then the matter is closed, hopefully. Assuming I didn't rush anything.
OMG, you're making me paranoid.

Once again, SO SO SORRY! I've got an avatar now, and my sis, LegolasLover, is going to put one on hers when she gets on in a few minutes.
SO SORRY! Didn't mean to cause any problems!
