On the RSC wiki, my signature has a problem. Since yesterday, whenever I use it, the timestamp goes into a box. To get rid of the box, I need to re-edit, and delete space. Another user had this problem, and to solve it he doesn't add the timestamp anymore. I don't really think I did anything to make this happen, it just started all of a sudden. Another thing, on other wikis I edit, this doesn't happen. Rsa23899

Make sure there are no line breaks in the signature template. Max21 23:47, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

I just checked again, there are none. Unless I'm missing it, but the history shows that it hadn't been edited for a while, long before the problem arose. Rsa23899 00:00, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Are you using the Rich Text Editor? Max21 03:46, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

No, I stopped using that a while ago. Rsa23899 15:01, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

You should use w:c:runescapeclassic to link to RSC wiki. Your link above doesn't work. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 8:27 PM PST 19 Jun 2010

The link above works just fine. Max21 03:46, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Strange, it didn't work for me the first time. Wikia glitch I guess. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10:17 PM PST 19 Jun 2010

Rsa23899, try it now. I used <onlyinclude> rather than <noinclude> which I think made you not notice the carriage return following where it was used. Stuff after <noinclude> is transcluded also unless you use <onlyinclude> or <includeonly> to specify what gets transcluded. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 9:40 PM PST 20 Jun 2010

It shouldn't be transcluded, really should be subst: RandomTime 10:51, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, but I tried again and it still didn't work. If it helps the signature field in my preferences is "{{SUBST:Nosubst|Signatures/Rsa23899}}".Rsa23899 13:12, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I tested {{SUBST:Nosubst|Signatures/Rsa23899}} ~~~~~ on that wiki and it works fine so I'm not sure what's up with your signature. Make sure you don't have any weirdness at the end of your signature in Preferences. To be perfectly honest, your signature is simple enough that I believe you could fit the whole thing in your Preferences signature field. --Pcj (T•C) 13:36, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help guys :) It's working now. Uberfuzzy added <onlyinclude> to the Nosubst template, so I guess that was the problem. Thanks for your help! Rsa23899 15:30, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
