Hullo,
My apologies for irritating you guys, yet I'm sorry to say that I've noticed some strange problems with signature layouts. Sometimes, signatures, oddly, go out of the area that should be inhabited, and show a strange effect as demonstrated. These problems first appeared, peculiarly, when the size area which signatures were allowed to take up was set to fill up the whole page.

Hope this can be resolved, sorry if it's too much trouble, cheers!

I query: perhaps it is your browser (or operating system) whose text setting affects the shown outcome. Perhaps its size is set above normal?

The size looks normal to me.
Weird that pictures overlap stuff though. What resolution are you using?

Your right FactionHeir, my text size is set to the Firefox default of "Normal". The problem is exactly the same in Internet Explorer too, so I don't think that the browser could be the cause of the problem.

My screen-resolution, on the other hand, may be the problem. It is set to widescreen 1280x800 pixels which is not a normal viewing setting on a standard monitor. However, the glitch is still in existence on my main PC, which is set to 1280x1024 pixels, so it may not be the cause of the issue.

Considering I'm now using 1440x900, it really seems that your resolution is not quite the culprit.

Have you tried emptying your cache and getting rid of cookies btw?

Sorry, but it stays the same. However, when I logged back in after the cookies logged me out, I realized that it was true for only certain skins. The iBulletin skin doesn't show the glitch. Perhaps it is a forum error?

Hello Omanes Alexandrapolites,

It could be a template error. Each skin has its own set of templates and that decides what you see. I noticed that the display of signatures also depend on the size of the browserwindow.

The iBulletin doesn't do it? That's something to compare then.

Hmm I opened the page where you experienced the error and it displays just fine for me.
The user does have an oversized pic on your screenshot though, but that seems auto-shrinked in my view.

I am also using default skin btw, so I dunno. Maybe its firefox? Because my IE works just fine so far.

I've ahd the same problem with the 'experimental' skin in Firefox.
