Hey Richard,

It's me again. I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately and I really appreciate your help. Guess what...another question.

I remember you telling me how to re-organize the avatars in your code so that they automatically show in alphabetical order when members are selecting them. For the life of me I can't remember which file you told me to edit. I know I have to switch something so it says sortbyname. Which file can I edit that in?

A question about signatures...

1 - Is there a way so that the "Show Signature" check box in a New Topic or Post Reply can be automatically checked? I know it's nothing big but somebody asked about that.

2 - Is there anyway a file can be editted so that a person's post message is automatically seperated from their signature by some kind of line or something? Example:

**Message**

------------

**Signature**

...can usually be found on a UBB.

I hope that's not too much to ask. Once again, thanks so much to anyone that can help

Can't help you with your first question since I don't use that mod. But I can help you with the others.

It already does that.

In post_info.asp you will see this code:

if Request.Form("sig") = "yes" and GetSig(STRdbntUserName) <> "" then
    txtMessage = txtMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ChkString(GetSig(STRdbntUserName), "signature" )
end if

You would change it to look like this:

if Request.Form("sig") = "yes" and GetSig(STRdbntUserName) <> "" then
    txtMessage = txtMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    txtMessage = txtMessage & "---------------------------------"
    txtMessage = txtMessage & ChkString(GetSig(STRdbntUserName), "signature" )
end if

I think that should work. Haven't tried it though. There are 2 occurences that you would need to change. Just do a search for "Request.Form("sig")" and you will find the code you need to change.

Alright! That worked great Davio. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it

I was looking for that because sometimes it seems like a member's sig will blend with the message itself.

Thanks again.

Wait...I encountered a slight problem.

It works great but if the member doesn't start their sig by spacing down once, it shows like this...

**Message**

---------------**Signature**

I tried to enter a "<br>" somewhere in the code but that made it even worse. Any suggestions?

change this

 if Request.Form("sig") = "yes" and GetSig(STRdbntUserName) <> "" then
    txtMessage = txtMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    txtMessage = txtMessage & "---------------------------------"
    txtMessage = txtMessage & ChkString(GetSig(STRdbntUserName), "signature" )
end if

to this

 if Request.Form("sig") = "yes" and GetSig(STRdbntUserName) <> "" then
    txtMessage = txtMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
    txtMessage = txtMessage & "---------------------------------" & vbCrLf
    txtMessage = txtMessage & ChkString(GetSig(STRdbntUserName), "signature" )
end if

The & vbCrLf is the eqivalent to a <br> I just learned this one and I am so excited to know an answer!

Pat, for the thing with the Avatars and sorting Alphabetically:

The file you are going to need to edit is inc_avatar.asp

Find this line:


		strSql = strSql & " ORDER BY " & strTablePrefix & "AVATAR.A_ID ASC;"

change it to:


		strSql = strSql & " ORDER BY " & strTablePrefix & "AVATAR.A_NAME ASC;"
