Pete,

There seems to be text, but no sigfile. The sigfile part is basic HTML, so if you want something other than a single line of text, you need to put in the controls. I can't show them to you here because they will get interpreted and will not show up.

Thanks Matt,

I don't know how to HTML. Is there some link where I can cut & paste the needed code?

Hi Matt,

I am getting there, I think.

How do you insert a carriage return? All my text is running together. I didn't see how to on the help page.

Pete, 
HTML codes go between a left and right carrot so a carriage return ends up being a "less than"br"greater than". 
It looks like what you have is a paragraph with line feed that is just a p between the two. 
Hope this helps.
Something has changed. When I look at what I just wrote, the control codes are visible. I put the codes in, but they don't usually show here. 
Matt

Matt,
It has been a while since I played with my sig file and I still need to do that. Where do I view the HTML code? I tried inserting the "less than carret"-and without a space next to it-"greater than carret" at the end of each line where I want a carriage return (i.e. this <>). But there is no difference.
But another question - I notice that when I post, I see weird country flags next to my name.
What is going on? How do I choose and set a country flag so that it always shows?
Thanks for your help.

Pete, 
I have forgotten what the url is for HTML code, but a "br" between the carrets is a line feed. 
A "p" between the carrets is a paragraph (double line feed). 
There are others also that I never use. 
I have no idea where that flag comes from, mine has been Canada for a while now.

Or...you can go to your account pages and there will be a place for you to type in you sigfile the way you want it and it will code itself.
BTW: this site uses BBcode and not HTML.

OK, I went to my account page typed in what I want along with carriage returns. Let's see if the three lines come out as one or three.

Nope - still one line...

My apologies to Matt. He is correct. HTML is used to compose your sigfile in Control Panel. I was looking at the options next to this box and it says HTML is turned off and BBcode is turned on. Why it is different, I don't know.
Anyway the HTML for a line break is:   at the end of each line.

Matt I apologize for stepping in before I did my research. BTW, since this area is coded in BBcode, you can write the HTML code and it will show up as regular text. etc.

Success!!

Adding the left carrot,br,right carrot immediately after each line did the trick.

Now, if someone can tell me how to fix the weird flags next to my name...

I suspect it has to do with me using a VPN.

Pete

Pete,

It sure looks like you got it.... .

Now, when you figure how to change the flag, let me know too. Mine has been Canada for a while now.
