    How to insert a non-breaking space

    This has been bothering me for a while, and I can't seem to find a solution that works for me. The links in my sig currently look like this:

    -My Fics--My Blog-

    because I can't seem to find a way to keep a space between them without using characters. How do I insert a non-breaking space so they just look like this:

    My Fics My Blog

    UPDATE: Even there I had 2 spaces between them, but the forum brought it down to one...

    I am unfamiliar with BB code, but I did try [_][/_] and [nbsp]

    Kiba (L6)Deadpool (L9)Youji (L9)

    You should be able to link them without the need for characters

    so
    [URL ="http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/fiction/browsecategory.php?do=member&entryuserid=67211"]My Fics[/URL] [URL ="http://lamplighter-miki.blogspot.com/"]My Blog[/URL]

    (backspace from = to the L when putting it in your sig space)

    So it'll look like:
    My Fics My Blog

    It's not a linking problem. Just that if I don't put anything between them, they look like this:

    That's because you've misplaced a space between BB code tags. Check to have something like this:

    [_URL="LINK"_]My fic[_/URL_] [_URL="Link"_]My Blog[_/URL_]

    The important thing is to leave a space between the strings ---> ...Fic[_/URL_]space[_URL="Blog"_]...

    OR eventually [URL=LINK]My ficspace[_/URL]... though this will extend the link till the space.

    If this doesn't work post the BB code of your signature and I'll give it a check

    It's not anything that you are doing that's causing your links to appear that way. There is such a thing as bbcode for the nbsp function but it has not been coded implemented on this site.

    Even if you put a space between links or images, they won't be processed. That's why images and links look messed up like that when placed horizontally.

    That leaves you with several alternatives for a workaround, including the following:

    1. Use a certain character -- as mentioned above, as a separator. I usually do this, since it's the most effortless. I typically use the vertical line character instead of dashes or asterisks.

    [URL="http://aarinfantasy.com/exampleonly.html"]Hyperlink#1[/URL] | [URL="http://aarinfantasy.com/exampleonly.html"]Hyperlink#2[/URL]

    Which, of course would then parse as:

    Hyperlink#1 | Hyperlink#2


    2. Use a transparent .gif or .png as a separator. Pretty bothersome, since you'd have to make+upload the image but if you're persnickety, it'll get you the appearance you want.

    (Pretty straightforward, no example needed, right?)


    3. The third option is to create a table, using the [table]value[/table] bbcode.

    [table][URL="http://aarinfantasy.com/exampleonly.html"]Hyperlink#1[/URL]|[URL="http://aarinfantasy.com/exampleonly.html"]Hyperlink#2[/URL]|[URL="http://aarinfantasy.com/exampleonly.html"]Hyperlink#3[/URL][/table]

    Would then parse as:

    @ gokunaruto: I've tried all this, and putting a space inside the code doesn't work either, but thanks for the suggestion.

    @Miko: Thanks, that explains why I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the ideas, I'll try them.
