Neat! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Indeed, did so a while back thanks to a thread much like this one! Smile

And this would please me oh so greatly! As I have read some of your signature catchy sayings a gazillion times not realizing where your new and interesting thought end, and your bottom stuff begins. Mad Wink

Thank you for resurfacing this. I was pleased to learn to do this from one of you some time ago, and it's pretty slick.

As a heads up to those who are new to this. Use "inline" with the signature without a carriage return (enter) will eliminate some space. Examples shown below:

"inline" (no return/enter before signature:

signature starts right after closing bracket ( ] )
[ hr ]signature starts right after closing bracket ( ] )

when a carriage return (enter key) is used:


signature starts after a carriage return (enter) is used right after closing bracket ( ] )
[ hr ]
signature starts after a carriage return (enter) is used right after closing bracket ( ] )

The bold text above is directly above the horizontal rules. The text after the horizontal rules shows one horizontal rule without a return before the text and one with. I have also provided a broken example below each to show the glimpse "behind" the curtains.

Thanks!

ffips, thanks for for posting.

Often, a post is so unreadable I have to hit “hide post” or just block some guys entirely.

Thanks, I'm not doing something right. I deleted my signature and unclicked signature in my profile. Never my intentions to upset anyone.

Maybe the change isn't instant?

I'm sure no one was seriously offended.

Honesty, I started this aimed more toward quoted text from articles. The signature line was a secondary target.

Here is an example of quoted articles gone bad. Wink

My goal was to share knowledge not "out" anyone specifically. Smile
