I just want to say something about signature's designs...
~90% of members see all of the designs in the right way.
If anyone is seeing boxes, etc. instead of BBCode or ASCII chars ... seems like your OS / WebBrowser is kinda different than usual.
I can re-design my designs with no extra fee - if there is any problem BlazedOut can contact me and I will change this Miscellaneous symbol to something else.
Like I told before - if everything is OK with your charset, browser, sysfonts, OS, etc. you should see all Miscellaneous symbols and all type of official BBCode fonts.
So I suggest to don't mind if 2 persons are telling you that "they see a square".
I can bet than 9/10 of random members can see it in the right way in which it was designed.
Contact me if you want me to re-design.
PS. You selected my design as a "good one" and your friend too, as some members also told that they like my design.
So... perhaps you was seeing it in the right way.
PS2. We can make an experiment
This is how I see my designs:
They looks the same for me and I tested it out under:
Windows7 (Opera, Chrome, Tor) ,Windows8 (Opera,Chrome), Ubuntu (Firefox) .
Kind regards.
