Suggestion: Distinguish Signature from Message
-
I'm new to codeproject and one thing that I find difficult is figuring out what part of a forum post belongs to the message and what part belongs to the author's signature. While reading messages, I sometimes get confused with the last line of an author's response, since it seemingly has nothing to do with the question -- of course it's because it's her signature! Something as simple as ------------ before the sig would suffice. Thanks, Phil

If you want ASCII instead of html, a proper sig dash is "-- ".
-- You have to explain to them [VB coders] what you mean by "typed". their first response is likely to be something like, "Of course my code is typed. Do you think i magically project it onto the screen with the power of my mind?" --- John Simmons / outlaw programmer

Well, either way it should be inserted automatically if a signature is present :)

Try hitting Ctrl+F5. It's subtle, but I don't want to interfere with dividers that members already use.

You can distinguish my signature easily ;)
