Title: Rules Regarding Avatars, Signatures, Banners
Post by: Moonshot on March 21, 2010, 09:09:10 PM
AVATARS

Registered members are allowed to have an avatar.  This is a picture that will appear below your member name when you post.  The guidelines are as follows:

1. The maximum size will be 100 x 100
2. The file should be no larger than 6 kb
3. You may upload an avatar to our database if you have one on your computer or a URL you would like to use
4. Avatar options are available from within your member profile. Click on "Profile" at the top of the page and add the link or upload your avatar in the proper field.

Please note: This forum utilizes an automatic resizing feature. Your avatar will be resized to 100 x 100 automatically.

SIGNATURES

Your signature lines appear below your post.  These lines are entered on your profile page and will appear automatically each time you post.  The guidelines are as follows:

1.  Please keep your sig line to 5 lines or less.  We do not have a minimum post size on this board. Therefore, we have many short posts. With all the short posts on the board, the pages are filled with repeating sig lines and cause members to have to spend all their time scrolling through them. 

2.  Please remove all white space from your signature.  In other words, if you have two lines, please do not leave a blank line in between them.  Again, too much scrolling and a waste of space.

3.  No pictures in your signature please. Pictures cause many of our members with dial up service slow page loading times.

4. No banners please.  They are distracting, and for people who post many times on a single page, other people must scroll through their banners to get to the actual discussion. 

5.  There is an option in your profile to "turn off" the signature feature.  Choosing this option will make all signatures invisible to you.
 
Thanks again for your cooperation!  If you have any questions, please let an admin or moderator know.
