When you "Modify" your profile, something Bad Happens.

Specifically, the signature field does something stupid. It adds newline breaks all over your signature, corrupting it entirely, breaking tags in twain, etc. Even if you didn't modify it, it does this.

The reason this rarely is noticed is that most people don't care about the formatting of their signature, but I do. It sucks that if I modify my subscriptions I have to remember to grab the signature window and drag it ALL the way to the right edge of the screen, so that when I save it won't ruin the whole thing with extra line breaks. And if I didn't remember to? DOOMED. I now have to spend twenty minutes or so re-configuring all my broken text and formatting codes.

Additionally, I have no choice but to carefully trim each line of my signature to fit it properly, since the screen I'm using is only so wide and there's no way to horizontally scroll it further to the right. The reason the lines of my signature are long when they all look rather short is that I use plenty of formatting tags.

In short, word-wrap doesn't destroy messages in the Message window of Post a Message, so it shouldn't destroy your signature either. I suspect this would be very easy to fix.

Looking at your signature I feel the need to point out that BatSS does indeed have a master door.

Sorry can't help with that other issue

What browser are you using? I don't get that in Firefox or IE - didn't test others.

Anyways, I'm assuming it was the 'wrap="physical"' tag which... well, as far as I can tell isn't an actual valid tag. I removed it.
