Actually, there's ZERO room left in my sig....I've used every character allowed with code....and I still need more room. 🙁 The other "problem" is I have too many computers, lol. I find the rigs link excellent for keeping track myself because I'm old and I forget. LOL
 
huh?

you have only 4 links in your sig
😕

... put em all on the same line and *rotate* your rigs ... one-at-a-time in your sig ... learn to be 'concise'
😀

i am just suggesting *stopgap* measures ... for the next two years or so while they *work* on it 😛
:laugh:

Why don't you just use http://tinyurl.com/ then you can fit more stuff in your sig.

Heh!

I've used TinyURL addys in my sigs (here and elsewhere) for a long time... For instance, I have a Google Search feature in my sig that searches for results on the AnandTech web site only. This would be impossible without TinyURL (or clones) because the URL is 100's of characters long... 😉

Anyway, until 'they' fix the edit feature for System Rigs, all you can do is make a new one. I did this last night.

Here is my *edited* system rig [see the link in my sig].

This is quite easy if you use Firefox as your browser...

Bring up the page for adding system rigs in one tab, and the page for viewing your system rig in another tab.

If all you want to do is edit your existing rig, use it as a template, and copy n' paste the lines from the viewing page, to the form in the adding page.

When you get done, hit the submit button in the adding page, then click the back button in your browser. That will take you back to the adding page, with all the newly entered info still in the form.

At this point, look at your results by viewing the new system rig that you created, using the viewing page in the other tab. If you don't like the results, simply delete it from your system rig, go back to your adding page, in the other tab, make adjustments to the info in the form, and submit it again.

Repeat this adding, viewing, submitting, and deleting process until you get the *new* system rig to your satisfaction...

When you're done, you will end up with a different URL, because the system rig number, in the AT database will have changed. Use this new URL in your sig, and/or make a new TinyURL addy, and you're home free...

I know this is a PITA, but at least you won't have to kludge up your sig by entering all your system rig info there! 😀

Not if you keep your original system rig active... 😉

That's what I did!

If they ever fix the edit feature, I'll edit the original rig, and delete the *new* one...

things here move about as fast as at 3d realms' DNF studios
:moon::clock::sun:

if you hold your breath you *will* turn blue
🙁

we have been waiting for a split off of the "Games" from SW forum for well over 3 years ... last year we were informed "we're working on it" 😛

as long as i can still post, i am OK 🙂

when it's *done*, *it's done* and we will all be surprised
:gift:

well ...
-shocked
:shocked:

but "act surprised" ... anyway --IF it ever happens

--and i'd say system rigs are pretty down the list of priorities ... but i am often wrong
:roll:

... as to "reading these threads" ... yeah ... if you annoy them enough, they lock the thread and "lose" your account 😉
:evil:

uh ....
:Q

Lock maybe, but the mods love us long-timers, they would never do that to us! :heart:
 
REPOST !!
err ... wrong forum ... ohh, and the system rig edit function is .... still broken. Maybe $20 paypal would *cough* >help< *cough* get this resolved *wink followed by a gentle nod of the head*
 
Still not editable. I need to change my Monitor from crusty old HP CRT to sharp new NEC LCD2690WUXi. And to 8900GTX in a couple months or so.

Did anyone try to PM a mod? This has been broken for so long it's not funny anymore.

mods can't *do* anything ....
..... they probably don''t really like being reminded of it
