Signature Gap Problem

This happened with my old signature too. I've been told by others that it looks fine on their screen, and I've also tried different forum skins; but the same problem occurs. This has led me to believe this is a problem at my end, but I have no idea why it's doing this or how to fix it.

EDIT: The problem seems to disappear if I center the sig... but not when I don't. :\

Solution: Combine them into one image.

EDIT: Oh wait, that nukes the URLs. Maybe just make them an image spoiler? I know that image spoilers remove the gap after the first image. I made the last 2 bottom pixels in my first sig transparent so it creates a gap between that and the spoiler.

Yeah, this is a phpBB "bug", it happens with all the skins and add a vertical gap between the two images for aesthetic reasons. Unfortunately it ruins stuff like this. Other forum software such as IPB doesn' do this.

Looks fine to me in Firefox with the Hermes skin.

So, Pikman, we have the same MBTI, same browser, and use the same forum skin. Marry me.

This is because of the lack of

Code: Select all

a img { display: block }
in the CSS: images are treated as inline elements and given a line-height, which doesn't exist on block elements.
I don't know what it is; I could've sworn I fixed this, at least in Retronet, awhile ago.
