I think it has to do with how the dimensions of the tables are set. The dimensions of table for the preview window are large enough where the graphics of your sigs canco-exist side by side. However, the actual dimensions of the table for the signature block is considerably smaller. Just eyeballing it I would say the sig graphic is between 2/3 and 3/4 of the signature block area.

Lets say that the signature is 400 pixels wide. If the area in the preview for the of the sig is set for for greater that 800 pixels then it should display side by side. But if the actual signature are is set at 700 pixels then they will try to wrap.

Also, and I may be wrong about this, you can only have four lines in the signature. If that is the case, when you actually try to use the sig, it will break you lines so that the graphics are on one per line and thus you go over the limit of number of lines you can have.

You know I just discovered that the forum displays them side by side if my explorer is full screen, I am running 1920x1200 so it fits corretly, if I have it at like 70% of the screen it lists all 6 straight down..

That clears up the display.. It still doesn't clear up the not saving my updates to the profile, and showing old info in there.. stupid computers.

Make sure you've updated the folder location on your curse client. If it's pointing to the old beta folder location it will no longer update. Make sure you have it set to the new WAR location after you installed from your CD's. You can do this via the curse client interface.

Can you copy the code here so I can take a look at it.
Put it in a code field so the forum doesn't parse the links automatically.

Code:
Example: A code field like this

There's a code icon in the message formatting tools. Paste your code, highlight it with the mouse and click the code icon.


Because of the many different monitor sizes and widths (I'm assuming you have a 23" and larger) the forum auto-wraps texts and resizes the width of posts. This includes the signature field. It's not possible to view your WARDB sigs side by side in the normal forum area unless you were on say a 26"+ monitor at max res. Each WARDB sig is 560px wide, so two would = 1120 pixes wide. Combining that with the forum avatar area, and the border/margins will result in a auto-wrap, which is why you end up seeing them stacked. As someone mentioned earlier the previewing area has more room, so you don't see the wrap effect there. It's the forums way of making itself view friendly to a multitude of monitor sizes and resolutions, such as smaller screens like laptops etc.

However, if you're really set on having all six character sigs from WARDB in your sig block, I could probably help with that. Smile

By trimming some of the code down I was able to to fit all six sigs into your sig block. (the forum has a 500 character sig limit, was the issue) Note; They do appear side by side now if you are running at 1700 res or above. Those who are running less will see them as a stack of six rather than 2x3.

Whatever works for you, feel free to revert the code back to what you had if you decide it's not what ya wanted study
