Top postbit header problem.
Hi Mods....Is there a problem with the site?
I have my options set to left postbit header so the users name and avatar appear to the left of all posts, however I now find the forum has defaulted to top postbit header and clearing my cookies has not solved the problem.
Any ideas as to what's causing this?
Regards, Gomez.

I'm just amazed it's not giving everyone the *****!
Just on the sig problem HeTz.....The "show your sig" box tick used to stay enabled....now we have to enable the tick option every post if we want to have sigs shown. That's what the guys are complaining about....
Thank's for your efforts to make a great site greater.

On the Relicnews.com forums, we've got a hack in place that limits signatures from a user to once per page. That way, the "Show your signature" bit can remain checked, but it only shows up once.

Well, it would be REALLY easy to count the number of character returns in a sig. I could write it myself with a simple count(explode($sig,"\n")), but the real problem comes to light when people type 6 full lines of text without character returns. If there is nothing to count, there is no way of knowing. You could take the average width of a character in whatever font is used on the forum, then make sure that the characters didn't run over six lines based on the width of the forum. The problem with that is that the width of RX8Club is dynamic based on how big the users browser is. If you drag-resize your window, you'll see what I mean.
You could limit to bytes, but again, you would not be able to tell the number of carriage returns.
It would take 1) average font width, 2) a pre-determined page width, and 3) a split+count to determine this.
It's easier for mods to look at it with their eyes, which are connected to a super-smart pattern-recognizing brain to determine if sigs are "legal." Unfortunately, I don't think we can create this sort of system with PHP...

Robertdot, I'll try and get you the information for what we used for that over at the relicnews.com forums. It's a CSS chunk of code that turns the signature into a DIV or some such.
