V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 A bit large, yes. We here at Scot's aren't really mean and nasty about forcing folks to follow the sig guidelines, but... that is a bit large. It's pretty spiffy, though. Signature Limitations (Text and Images) 11. Please keep the length of Text Only signatures within the following parameter: A maximum of five single-spaced lines of text. (A line = the width of the SIG text input box.) If you incorporate an image into your signature in conjunction with text, please do so within the following parameters: Images must comply with Rule #12. A maximum of three single-spaced lines of text. (A line = the width of the SIG text input box.) Also, please do not post your system specifications in your signature. There is a designated area in your account profile for that information. (See "A Note About Privacy" below.). Tip: If you want a long quote in your signature, you may want to use the "size" tags to make it size "1" so that you can fit more text on each of the five lines you're allowed. *from --> http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...t=4402&st=0 Quote
Urmas Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 We here at Scot's aren't really mean and nasty... We aren't? Since when? I must have missed that particular memo... Quote
abarbarian Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Gee guys I was only funning with you. Will this be ok ? I know the gif is a couple of kb's over the limit but he is so cute. Edited February 8, 2012 by abarbarian Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Looks good. You should make the word "Arch" a hyperlink the Arch website, though. Quote
abarbarian Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Looks good. You should make the word "Arch" a hyperlink the Arch website, though. Done. Ta fer the advice. If the .gif is a nuisance I'll figure out another sig. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 It looks fine. It's no more a nuisance that all that carp in my sig. Oh, and you might want to edit a bit for clarity... "I did and I'm are really happy" Uh... you oughta' link to the main Arch page, not the wiki. Just my opinion... https://www.archlinux.org/ Quote
securitybreach Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Looks excellent Abarbarian!!!! (Big surprise, I know lol) Quote
abarbarian Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Oh, and you might want to edit a bit for clarity... "I did and I'm are really happy" https://www.archlinux.org/ Ah keep forgettin 'a' theur fowk across t' pon' av difficulty wi' propa english as spoken by eur true nativ'. Correction made int' interest o' world peace. As to the link itself. I think the Arch main page is a bit stuffy. I recon my link is more useful to someone who is ready to try out Arch.You guys are looking at things from a different perspective from folk like me. With a long history GNU/Linux usage and coding and command line skills and a more serious attitude to penguinism your view has to be different to mine. I'm just a pretty standard normal pc user with just an vague inkling of all the complexities of the os, I just want to install and tweak the os to suit me. Just my opinion of course but I'll stick with it. That is not really the clearest explanation of my thinking but it is the best I can offer at the moment as I don't have time to write a thesis. securitybreach Posted Today, 02:09 AM Looks excellent Abarbarian!!!! thumbsup.gif (Big surprise, I know lol) Certainly was. Thanks for the help and guidance. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Well, the Main Page of the Wiki works, too. Besides, it's YOUR sig after all. You could hyperlink to THIS if you wanted to. Quote
abarbarian Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Looking good all around! Thanks. You must have missed the original effort V.T. Eric Layton - that is a dead link from here Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Nah, just saw it was in good hands. Just wanted to add my two cents. Quote
abarbarian Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Nah, just saw it was in good hands. Just wanted to add my two cents. Ah ha well me original, and in my humble opinion, had more of a world encompassing appeal, had the line "We did and we are really happy" with this .gif underneath it. Apparently for some strange reason it was deemed to be too toooooo something or other. Both here and on another forum I haunt. Edited February 9, 2012 by abarbarian Quote

There will be a birthday celebration that afternoon offering Wichitans the chance to once again buy White Castle burgers.

Guest LilBambi Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Did our little forums DDoS their site?! Quote
abarbarian Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Did our little forums DDoS their site?! Hmm not quite sure what that means. But strange things always happen around me Quote
zlim Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 We drove to Florida in 1956 and McDonald's hamburgers were advertised on the radio as 9¢. My Mom thought "what kind of a hamburger do you get for 9¢?". Of course we had to stop at at least one of the white tiled buildings with the neon arches to see. They were not bad. It took several more years before we got our first McDonald's in my hometown in PA. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 His ISP or DNS is having issue with that site, probably. I doubt we shut the site down with the hotlink. Yup. I can remember going to the local McDonalds here in my neighborhood (one of the first in Tampa) with my dad when I was a wee tot. It was similar to this one: It just had a walk-up stainless steel counter and some patio furniture out front. The menu was real simple... burger, cheeseburger, fries, filet-o-fish, soda, milk shakes. That was it. Quote
securitybreach Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks for the help and guidance. No problem Glad I was able to convert another Archer Quote
