I'd like a new signature for when I change my user name to...... [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite]]! I'd like something professional looking and not too tacky! Are you up for it? [[User:ryanpostlethwaite\|Ryanpostlethwaite]] [[Special:Contributions/ryanpostlethwaite\|contribs]]/[[User talk:ryanpostlethwaite\|talk]] 18:38, 12 April 2007 (UTC) ~~:Please fill in the rusty questionnaire:~~ ~~#Preferable style: "Professional looking but not too tacky"~~ ~~#Favorite color(s): Red Blue Green~~ ~~#Backgrounds acceptable?

[[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 20:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)~~ Ok, let's see... "Not too tacky", and "no background fills" means you want to fool people for being serious (:-)), and "professional looking" means you can't have kites flying around your username... There's not much left to the artist, so I suppose you listed the colors in order of preference, because here goes the red-blue fantasy scenario: 197rbr: [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|'''<font color="#aa0000">Ry<font color="#770022">an<font color="#550044"> P<font color="#220066">os<font color="#000088">tl</font>et</font>hw</font>ai</font>te</font>''']] 197brb: [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|'''<font color="#000088">Ry<font color="#220066">an<font color="#550044"> P<font color="#770022">os<font color="#aa0000">tl</font>et</font>hw</font>ai</font>te</font>''']] 197rb: [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|'''<font color="#aa0000">Rya</font><font color="#770022">n Po</font><font color="#550044">stle</font><font color="#220066">thw</font><font color="#000088">aite</font>''']] 197br: [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|<font color="#000088">'''Ryan'''</font><font color="#220066"> Po</font><font color="#550044">stle</font><font color="#770022">thw</font><font color="#aa0000">aite</font>]] (this one has an extra bold/no-bold feature) ~~Also, check the other gradients in the [[User:NikoSilver/Signature shop\|shop window]], see if you like another combination. Oh, I got the humorous approach too:~~ Ahem: [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|<font color="#000088">'''Ryan'''</font> <font color="#aa0000">Postlethwaite</font>]]<sup>Yeah, I know, but [[WP:U#Random]], does not apply on real names...</sup> (Heh, you should try pronouncing ''my'' surname, I'll send you via e-mail if interested!) ~~Am I on the right direction? <small>...for getting blocked over [[WP:NPA]]?</small> :-) [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 22:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)~~ hmmmmmm, is it meant to look like this?!

It says the HTML is invalid (or something like that), any idea's? [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|Ryan Postlethwaite]] [[User_talk:Ryan Postlethwaite\|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Ryan_Postlethwaite\|contribs]] 12:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC) :Ummm, the one you quote has an additional ">" after every "font". Did you copy/paste it or what? Did you check the 7 steps on top? I've removed those extra ">" in your quote above, and it appears to be repaired. How did they find their way in? [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 20:18, 13 April 2007 (UTC) ::Yeah I followed the code, it says, invalid code, check HTML tags. and incedentally, all the signatures above appear the same to me, just plain black!

Stay tuned... [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 20:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)~~ ~~All increased by 15+1 chars (your space). Do you see the colors now? [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 20:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)~~ Right, gotta shoot off the comp now, but one last favour (and they look amazing by the way!) could you add a link to my talk and contribs at the end? [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|Ryan Postlethwaite]] [[User talk:Ryan Postlethwaite\|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Ryan Postlethwaite\|contribs]] 20:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC) :Maaaan! Yo have to check the "raw sig" checkbox, and YES I am rusty, I had forgotten the quotes!! Test it now. Do you see all ''but'' the first, or all ''including'' the first? [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 20:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC) ::Talk/contribs doesn't fit in the 200 char limit ([[WP:SIG]]). I find the limit too low, but that's my opinion only. We need to change that policy... You can add them yourself if you want to violate the policy, but this is supposed to be a legit shop! [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 20:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC) :::I fixed the first one also since they haven't improved the HTML code in IE7 either. I've been using Firefox for some time, and it "understood" all short versions. I guess I was spoiled by it and that's why I missed some [unnecessary in Firefox] markup. They should all be functional now, yet a tad lengthier, but still within limits. [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 21:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC) ::::Got very sporadic internet connection for a few minutes! (WP:SIG's a guidline not policy :) ). I haven't adapted any of the sigs yet, but I will make my selection tomorrow (although I am spoilt for choice as all your designs are exactly what I was looking for!) Might try wiki-linking postlethwaite to my talk page (by that I mean I choose which one I want and leave you to do the wiki-linking!!), will let you know my selection tomorrow! [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|Ryan Postlethwaite]] [[User talk:Ryan Postlethwaite\|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Ryan Postlethwaite\|contribs]] 23:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC) And the winner is........... [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite\|'''<font color="#000088">Ry<font color="#220066">an<font color="#550044"> P<font color="#770022">os<font color="#aa0000">tl</font>et</font>hw</font>ai</font>te</font>''']] 18:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC) :If I link your talk in the brb and rbr ones, the markup will become double (if you notice the code, the last part keeps the code of the first using "nesting"). If I break the nesting, I'll have to repeat a second sequence of blueish (in your picked sig) codes for the last part. [guideline/policy aside, c.350chars would be ridiculously long]. I could do it at relatively low markup expense in the br and rb ones. Another solution is to add a marker ''after'' your name like these: ~~:+27chars: [[User talk:Ryan Postlethwaite\|talk]] (well that's yours already)~~ ~~:+24a: [[User talk:Ryan Postlethwaite\|≈]]~~ ~~:+24b: [[User talk:Ryan Postlethwaite\|•]]~~ ~~:*etc~~ :Finally, a nice suggestion would be to use a redirect account with a shorter name (such as my [[User:N!]]), which would reduce the code length by the size of your name (and it's long!) This would be especially useful for your talkpage, but I wouldn't recommend it for your userpage, because your name would then not be readable at all in the edit window. [[User:NikoSilver\|Niko]][[User talk:N!\|Silver]] 00:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC) ==Alison== Line 156 ⟶ 34: :[[Comic Sans]] kinda gives it an informal twist. What do you think? - [[User:Alison\|<font face="comic sans ms" color="green">Alison</font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Alison\|☺]]</sup> 21:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Sure (unless we want to scare the vandals off, that is)... Comic sans is fine, but it's kinda ''thinner'', so we need to darken the whole thing by a twitch for vision problems consideration. Here it is: 197 chars: [[User:Alison\|<span style="color:#558; font-family: comic sans ms; font-variant: small-caps">'''A<font color= "#7070a0">l<font color= "#9090c0">is</font>o</font>n'''</span>]] [[User talk:Alison\|☺]] <small>(I noticed you dropped poor [[Asclepius]] in favor of the smiley, but hey, meds are supposed to make us smile from health!)</small> Hope you like this.
