Does it bug anyone else that when someone uses a swap tag as the first line of a signature, it looks as if it's supposed to be part of the post? The signature divider disappears when you do it.

An easy way to fix it would just be add a space before you put in the stupid swap tag, people who have swapping signatures. Could that be a rule?

Edit:

We could just get rid of swap tags in signatures, too.

In some cases, the tag is, in fact, being used to keep them from being too long.

For the most part, I think people are being pretty responsible with it. Really, it only has come up in a couple places and while it confused me a bit at first, I got over it pretty quickly.

I really don't think any rule is needed, to be honest, but if push comes to shove, either users could be asked to include a blank line or the series of underscores could be replaced with a simple <hr/> while we're making changes to the layout.


Edit: Better alternative, just shave a bit (3 pixels?) off the top of the blue area. It actually crosses into the line above it.

I just mention it now since I've seen it in multiple signatures, and mentioning it would no longer be, "MAN THAT GUY'S SIGNATURE IS ANNOYING. I HATE HIM", and more just, "MAN, THAT TAG IS ANNOYING. I HATE IT'S CURRENT ANNOYING USES."

I do get that it's to keep signatures from getting huge, it's just a suggestion that maybe there's something that can be done about it before it gets to the point of aggravating more than just me. :P

This is kind of annoying, I tried to space it in mine but vB ate the empty linebreak, I should stop being lazy and go put in a 111111 spacer.
