 Posted: 6 Apr 2007 20:44 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | Ok, several solutions.
1.) get a bigger monitor. 2.) use calcg.org instead of calcgames.org 3.) we can remove the part that says who started each topic... that would actually help quite a bit... but many times I want to know who started each topic... we could also just put that as hover text for each topic.

 Posted: 6 Apr 2007 21:17 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | I made the topics a lot smaller... and i put the topics/stars in a cool little table so it'll look better when it goes on 2 or 3 different lines.

I think I know what the problem is... but that really shouldn't be happening.
I'll look at it right now.

Barrett Administrator
 Posted: 8 Apr 2007 10:09 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | Well, if you look at the source, there is nothing telling it to do that. That's an error in Opera. I'm guessing the reason is that it spaced the next line based on the text size of the small letters, but it forgot that the size of the background "span" is the same as for the larger letters.

 Posted: 8 Apr 2007 10:55 GMT Total Posts: 689 | Speaking of errors, when I look at the page, all the tiny letters are black. This is on a dark blue background, so needless to say it's hard to read.

 Posted: 10 Apr 2007 23:12 GMT Total Posts: 1676 | ok... it should be better now.
Edit: I also gave the headers on most of the forum pages a face lift... it's more consistent now... EXCEPT for the threaded forum topic pages (news)... I'll have to do that tomorrow.

Another good sig idea is the ability to use [Enter] in your sigs.

 Posted: 17 Apr 2007 18:19 GMT Total Posts: 714 | I don't think a break would be that bad; however there should be a limit.
Example:
Good Sig: This is a good signature. It only has one break and doesn't take up the screen.
Bad Sig: This is bad.
And very annoying.
Well there is my 2 cents

I like it keep up the good work.
