I agree - it was not a war of words at all. It was merely a discussion that I believe was resolved amicably.

Don't forget the people who "quote" the whole post and its signature and just start typing away somewhere at the bottom, without editing out parts of the original post or said signature.

Btw, Heffed, I've been testing my sig for a couple of days now, even with some minor help from Neil. It's down to 12.44KB
But that's as minor as I can get it, outside of testing without background and without reverting to PB's tactics. ;)

If you want your signature to be small make it to fix exactly, thats what i did but mines longer than others, 81 x 421 and its only 16.311Kb. :D

Your sig is so big because of the team name being so long. You could do without the 3 extra dots at the end, you know? ;)

Yet if you read the rest of the thread, you could've seen my sig background picture is already made to fit and smaller than 5KB (4,163 bytes).

This is also one of my pet peeves. ;-) Makes things a bit difficult to read.

Why is yours 16K? It is mostly black and white. My background pic is only 5K. (.gif with 64 colors) My sig is just over 11K. I would expect yours to be smaller due to less color.

Thank you Neil ... :)

Yeah, I ran into a little glitch there myself and had to shorten them once I managed to get myself extracted from the mess I created. When I first input all the data in the sigline, it cut it off right at the beginning of a new field, which made the open html tag coincide with the pre-determined "end of field" html marker for the page. Long story short, it killed my account editing page on the server, as the whole bottom half of the page was invisible because of the html coding being cut in the middle of a string. Of course, any future edits have to be saved with that button that's where? Yep, at the bottom of the page - or where the bottom of the page would have been had I not vanquished it from existence.

After a little panicking, it finally dawned on me that I could use a non-html browser (lynx) and log into the account and it would ignore all the html and let me back onto the bottom half of the page so I could edit it back out and get my page back. I was already planning in my mind...now, Monday morning when I have to call UCB, what exactly am I going to tell them...?

Hi all,

I have purchased extra bandwidth for this month to keep the site up.

I have also created an experimental mirror system that I am testing out at present - I'll let you know how I get on.

If you see "http://seti2.mundayweb.com - mirror" at the bottom of your graphic, then you know that the graphic was generated by a mirror, though you should hardly see that at all at present.

Thnaks Neil for your Work here


Greetings from Germany NRW
Ulli [/url]

YEAH!!! [/url]

My thanks also Neil for your work - it is greatly appreciated.

My sig is playing up, It sometimes doesn't show my group name in full, just the first word. Why?

Hi all,

Tonight from approx 19:45 BST until 00:15 BST, I enabled two mirror sites to serve the graphics.

It would appear that their is a bug in the mirror script which I am now trying to solve.

Please note that mirrors are selected at random.

For the time being I have disabled the mirrors.

Hopefully for the next testing session all 4 mirrors will be tested.

Best regards,

Neil Munday

Maybe because it's so long?

I think i have an idea, maybe because i use a special character '&' this maybe the problem. Post a reply!

Doubtfull, I have the ampersamp (&) as well.

Unless Neil forgot to add the same script changes he did to the original site to the mirrors, but I doubt that. ;)
