@Rowley, that's odd. I assume it's a reinstall and not upgrade? Because identical OS should be well...identical.


I formatted my SSD (previously had Win7) and installed Windows 8 (which is now Windows 8.1)

It's weird, at 90% zoom my signature is on one line, at 110% zoom, it's also on one line, but at 100% zoom, it's on two..

Something so minor is annoying me so much :(

From every angle and curve, to every entangling swerve; it's all about handling nerve.


Ah okay, that makes sense in that something is different, but it doesn't make sense that something has changed....Hmm not sure if I'm making sense :/

Personally I prefer windoze 7 over 8, though it depends on what you are doing. Tbh I haven't had much to do with 8 so I'm not much help :(

@Rowley,

I believe the multi line thing with your signature is a result of a chrome update. Since updating chrome you're signature appears on two lines, prior to that it did not.


Yay! It's not just me then. :D

Edit: That just happens to be coincidental timing then, I guess.. Chrome update the same time as I installed a fresh version of windows, and of course as I'd just downloaded Chrome it was a brand new version.

^Yep that's right. I had to instigate the update so chances are like me you didn't have latest version. As you say re-downloading chrome is what gave you the latest version.

Now the thing is, I'm not sure what to do about it. The issue goes beyond your signature. Now the possibility exists that the text in quick reply wont span the same way as it does in posts.

Even though it's a minor thing, it means the way some posts are formatted will no longer be correct. It also means the 4 line signature rule can be broken without actually modifying the signature.

I can widen the area for out posts slightly, that seems to work for your signature. But I don't know if there will be adverse effects elsewhere. Also it doesn't change the fact all posts viewed without linkify will have the issue (thinking of 4 line sigs here).

I think for now I'll leave it alone, but I may end up doing something because my new settings pages (in development) need absolute precision between the quick reply textarea and posts.

The more you mention the new settings page the more I can't wait for it. :>

As for the Chrome update; chances are it could be reverted in the next couple of updates, there's hope, at least..

That's what I'm hoping. Updates I have in works are on hold for a while (this month) since I'm working on something else (kind of linkify related), so there is plenty of time for the text discrepancies to get sorted out.

I don't recognise that quote/lyrics, but that was a nice touch to add to the end of your post

I'd be surprised if anyone could recognize them. ;)

I figured what the malformations was in relation to. It appears that it's a server side issue for Soundcloud not being able to handle non-breaking spaces in pages it's embedded on with the API. A minimal issue considering there is only one way to view threads with nbsp in the url. Outside of that, it works nicely. :)

Thanks for that Ryan M, I just added the code you provided and I notice the soundcloud links you posted on the previous page embed nicely :)

I'll push out an update tomorrow, I have some other little things I need to tidy up so I figure I might as well get it all out in one go.

Thank you very much again for you help, must be one of the easiest updates for me :)

And... that update brought in nothing but cosmetic changes for Chrome... They resized a few buttons, changed a few fonts...

Just like I was saying yesterday, yet another pointless update.

(p.s: Cosmetic for people like me that aren't developers).
