Users who do not wish to see member signatures may disable them in their User Profiles.
In order to keep The Forum fast for those who wish to see signatures we feel it is necessary to impose limits on signature size.
Size Limits -- Regular MembersThe signature (including all text and images) must fit in a rectangle 450 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall. The total file size of all graphics in the signature must be 35K or less. The image below is 450 pixels wide by 150 pixels high. Remember: This is the maximum size. Smaller is better.
Size Limits -- Donors and Active StaffThe signature (including all text and images) must fit in a rectangle 450 pixels wide by 250 pixels tall. The total file size of all graphics in the signature must be 50K or less. The image below is 450 pixels wide by 250 pixels high. Remember: This is the maximum size. Smaller is better.
Important NotesAll images in sigs MUST be coded with height and width attributes (48 is just a sample, you will need to use the actual height and width in pixels of your image):
[img width=48 height=48]http://somesite/image.gif[/img]
Limited Advertising is allowed in signatures as explained in our Advertising Guidelines.
All images stored on an external server must be stored either in server space you own/rent or on a service created to store pictures for use elsewhere. Do not steal bandwidth from others by linking to an image you come across on the web.
Signatures may not include annoying features like sound, annoyingly fast animated images, or the like.
Exception for Text-Only SignaturesNot withstanding the above limits, text only signatures of three lines or less (five lines or less for Cauldron Supporters) may flow across the page (that is, are not restricted to 450 pixels wide) provided they word wrap in a friendly manner and are no more than three (five for Cauldron Supporters) lines on a 800-pixel wide screen,
