Okay, now if possible I am after a signature (one which is VERY short (in code), no images etc...) any ideas? Ian13/talk 18:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Just out of the top of my head, and with no instructions at all:
Do you like it? I am not sure if < big> shows better or worse in various other screen-modes, we'll have to check, or the alternative would be to use ...font+1..., which will increase code length a little bit.:NikoSilver: 12:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
PS: I changed the font because I hate how upper-case "i" resembles lower-case "L" in Arial. We wouldn't want people to confuse you for LAN now, would we? :-)
Cool. Got rid of bigs and courier, added green:
Note, we can't avoid double code for green, coz it doesn't allow inter-wiki-link jumping [sic]. So probably you like:
... for shorter. Hmm? You want me to try other shades of green too? :NikoSilver: 13:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Jesus! I forgot te small-caps thingy you seem to like so much!
Ok. Now?:NikoSilver: 13:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Or, I could drop the small-caps:
Infact, making the 't' for talk in capitals emulates the small caps thing:
Wait, the underline, seems broken (up and down) in my screen. I suggest, if you do want it, to use it only for IAN. Like this:
See? I shortened the code using < u>/< /u> too! Personally I prefered it when 13 linked to talk, but it's the customer's needs we aim to please here! :NikoSilver: 14:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
PS: I mean like that (which is even shorter):
Glad I could help. Could I offer an alternative?
Like it or dump the idea? :NikoSilver: 10:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Also maybe check:
...where small-caps are also used in Ian (not only in /t). This helps also for distinguishing L from i, since you couldn't possibly capitalise a name like tHIS. :NikoSilver: 10:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
In that case, you'll have to repeat the small-caps code like this:
It's not such a big deal in code size... :NikoSilver: 13:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
