Title: Is there a way to scroll a signature area?
Post by: BADecker on April 01, 2021, 01:51:57 PM
Some members have such large type or graphics in their signature area that you can't see it all. Some members have loads of things in there that are out of sight. How can we scroll down? Is there an easy way to get the info that you can't see?

No, you can't scroll down as far as I know under posts but it is possible to the complete signature when you visit the profile of the person to see the complete signature where it is fully visible.

If you really want to see the entire sig:
- select visible signature
- right click -> inspect element
- in the new tab a bit above you will see <div class="signature.....> click on that row
- in the right column uncheck the option {max-height} (should be the first one)

Will be able to see the entire signature... until you refresh the page  :P

Right, whenever I use mobile to access this forum, literally every hero/legendary member signatures are out of place. Not like I care that much.

If the signature design is clean it is unlikely to be a significant difference between browsers especially for mobile phones.
The main problem in the signatures of BBcode is you are trying to redraw images, which makes them different is the way browsers deal with (Size = 2PT) or (SIZE = 2PX) parameter.

This step enables you to see most of the code but sometimes it happens to be lost. If you learn the code, it is easy to guess.
Generally most signatures show for everyone because their purpose is promotional campaigns.

You are right, but I don't know if we have any restrictions to change the size of the signature that can be displayed perfectly on mobile. However that may not be a problem as long as the signature is working for an ad which can function properly when the user clicks on that section. Since I use PC a lot, I don't really mind it and won't force it to resize it to look perfect on the mobile.

For years now, most signatures look terrible on my desktop browser. Switching browsers can make a large difference, but I don't care enough to do that. It even looks better on mobile.

Let me test something: https://loyce.club/other/usersignature/459836.html


posts merged

It works now: Post this link on any public board on Bitcointalk: https://loyce.club/other/usersignature/149737.html

Replace the userID by the user who's signature you want to view:
Code:
https://loyce.club/other/usersignature/<userID>.html
(no need to use code tags)

Wait a few seconds, then click the link. It should show the user's signature in it's full size. Adjust your browser window if needed.
I've added this script to my regular scraping, so it should keep working from now on.

Limitations
  • Only one request per post
  • Only new posts are scraped (edits are ignored)
  • Use the exact format as above
  • Older signatures are instantly overwritten

Feel free to delete the link again.

And the 'same' browser can display BB code signatures significantly differently between different operating systems, even if the fonts used by the browser are supposed to be the same. The Chipmixer signatures look nicer to me on Windows than on Linux.

The attempt to redesign avatars using █ is what makes the signature differ from one browser to another, just as the use of some fonts that are not supported by another browser, colors, transparency, and dimensions are what makes the difference.
Using the basics will make the signature clean and attractive.

If you add buttons to modify the browser view for this page, it will be great.
