The problem you are havin is due to the font. Pay attention kids, this is the science bit… The font being used here is a proportional font Each of the letters, and punctuation including spaces, are different widths. This makes it much nicer to look at and easier to read (Thanks Saddy, for thinking about our poor tired eyes, and providing us with a nice gentle font – See? He really cares). Unfortunately these bits we get to type in use a fixed width font (each of the letters and punctuation take up the same amount of space). So all your spaces are there, it’s just they are shorter than they appeared when you typed them in. Just wap in more spaces and you’ll be fine.
I believe (and young Mr Geezer can correct me if I’m wrong) that the sig will be picked up from whatever you have set in your profile and display it live. So if you change your sig it will change it on the threads that are already there. So have a go, and look an old thread to see what the result is. You should get it sorted soon (as a rough guess, try using 3 spaces for every 2 that you did have).
And at this point I realise that this has nothing to do with HHG, so I’ll get my coat.
Oh, before I go (still unrelated…soz), what sort of robots? Big hulking ones for beating the smeg out of other robots on certain TV shows? Or ones that will benefit mankind in ways other than providing mindless, violent and strangly entertaining distraction to the masses?
