If your rule is more than a few words you could try this alternate method of displaying the template:
Code:
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['eagle_sigrule_on']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
$vbphrase[sig_rules]
</td>
</tr>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<div class="smallfont">
<div style="float:$stylevar[left]; margin-right:10px">
<menu>
<div><LI type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_1]</div>
<div><LI type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_2]</div>
<div><LI type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_3]</div>
<div><LI type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_4]</div>
<div><LI type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_5]</div>
<div><LI type="circle">$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_6]</div>
</div></menu>
</td></tr>
<tr><TD class="alt1" COLSPAN="2">
<div style="float:$stylevar[left]; margin-right:10px">
<div>
<strong>**$vbphrase[eagle_add_notes]</strong>
$vboptions[eagle_sigrule_7]</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</if>
<br />
I found that it left a gap between rule 3 & 4 and this looks alot cleaner for me.
(the edit is common sense...but its for the benifit of those who don't do HTML

)
