hm. i dunno why yours is being weird ..
lemme see if i can get the exact contents of my sig so you can see..
ok, the code tag does not work, but it's like this -
[size=1*][*color=FF99CC]- + - ° GiRLie GeeK ° - + - ° PoRN FReaK ° - + -
01110010011011110110111101110100001000000110110101100101[/color*][/size*]
without asterisks..
maybe, since you've got some color in yours, it's just a nesting problem?
if you want the whole of the text to be small, make sure you put the 'size=1' at the very beginning, and then the '/size' at the very end.
just like with html, you need to make sure things are nested right or it wont work.
hope this helps finally
