|
|
Am I the only one on here that can't figure out how to format a quote in my signature line? I just realized I've been displaying BBCode for the last two weeks…
I've tried multiple Samba and Google searches to figure out why only my signature is funky, but I can't figure it out.
Will trade VW work for tech help,

the quotes that you're using are a different ascii value, copy paste a different quote instead of what you used on your keyboard
You have: ”
I have: "
You might be able to see the difference on your mac'n'trash. _________________ Wash your hands

Oh that actually makes sense. I guess the BB code for signatures isn’t as forgiving as posts; I type tags manually all the time and have never had an issue...

I fixed it for you with
Code: |
[quote="sunnydog"]...the sliding door is the party entrance...[/quote] |
It looks like it still didn't "quote" it though.
Sometimes it doesn't work with the quotes, I've never figured out why but I think it has to do with other text being used in the signature. _________________ How to Post Photos

That's interesting. Do you have "Always allow BBCode" checked in your Control Panel?
I was able to add a quote to my profile just now. _________________ 1974 Thing -- under the knife
