Formatting "Signatures" (1 Viewer)

[Revolvor]

Please can someone tell me how to edit the font and colour of a "signature" on the forum?

Thanks,

John

Above the signature text box you will see similar buttons to those for formatting a post. Text colour and font size are the fourth and fifth from the left.

Thanks Graham,

Maybe I'm being dim, but I still can't see the relevant buttons:

Broken Link Removed

That's very strange. When I click on my forum name at the top right then on Signature the following box appears, with a full set of editing buttons. One for @Jim maybe.

Mine's the same as yours - is it because we are on iPads?

 

[Rob and Val]

Same here but on a desktop PC, not an iPad!

I don't get thefull list of options either. Certainly no colour choice.

Thanks Wildman .....That gives an unfair advantage to people who had already formatted their signatures!!

I have bold italic and underline thats all everything else has been removed so selective censorship I guess.

 

[Wildman]

my signature is in my post rather than signature proper.

there must be a reason.. and I doubt it is anything to do with the forum software ..
I just posted a screen shot taken now #9

Not in my experience Roger. The screenshot I posted earlier (post #4) was captured immediately before posting, as Jim did. For me it has always been the same with the current forum software.

 

[Wildman]

As I said selective censorship this is mine screen grab now

@Wildman looks like you are correct.. you may not have the full signature formatting permissions..

this is from the XenForo forum https://xenforo.com/community/threads/signature-permissions.47456/

Something to do with the browser in use and/or preference settings maybe? Perhaps @Gromett can shed some light on the reason.

The formatting has probably been removed to discourage folk from producing enormous signatures. I remember some which were so big they took up half a screen on a tablet.

Which is why I have preferences set so I can't see them!

Then @Wildman finds a way of getting round this...grrr..

that is easily fixed I could just stop posting

Trying to put something in my signature, copy and paste ok, preview ok, save changes, pop up informs changes have been saved. Go to personal details then back, signature is blank?
What am I doing wrong?

Trying to put something in my signature,

whatever it is you are trying to paste, may not be allowed..

have you tired hosting the image remotely and inserting as a link rather than copy / pasting ?
