View Full Version : Insert your species list into your signature - with the species drop down

I've enabled the use of a drop down option to use in your signature. This saves a lot of space if you want to list species, animals, names - anything really.

Most phasmid keepers have a fair few species, so by using the drop down you can specify all your species in one, small, easy menu.

Here's how it works:

It's a simple piece of code that you need to paste into your signature. It looks like this:


MenuOption1Option 2Option 3Option 4


Looks a little complex, but it breaks down nice and easily. It comprises of 2 main tags - the "drop" tag and the "option" tag. The whole piece of code is enclosed with the "drop" tags, to tell the forum software that it needs to be made into a drop down menu. The "option" tags tell the forum that the menu needs to be broken down into different levels.

Here's what the code looks like in action:

MenuOption1Option 2Option 3Option 4

You can see the "menu" label is the first to be shown - this is specified after the first drop tag. For every new level, you must enclose whatever you want to appear there in "option" tags.

Once you play around with it, it'll be much easier to get the hang on.

Any problems, please let me know.
