New Signature Rules - Please read!

[Cassiepeia]

With the site's change of ownership, comes a revamp of the forum rules. One of the changes is regarding signatures. The new rules read as follows...This is a direct quote taken from the new rules, which you can view here. There is also a link to it at the top of the site next to the User CP link.

12. Images in the signature are allowed but please keep them smaller than 500x200 pixels. If your signature is text-based, then please limit it to 4 lines maximum. This is to keep the board cleaner looking. If your signature doesn't conform to the guidelines, then it will be removed, and we'll leave a note in your signature to say why it's been removed.

13. ~DFG edit: this rule deals with avatars and hasn't changed from the current one~

14. Any image you post should not include anything that shouldn't be viewed by people under the age of 18. Nor should they include anything that is a reference to illegal activities. I'm sure you're intelligent enough to know what sort of materials I'm referring to. The same goes for your avatar image. Please keep images as small as possible. Resize them in an image editor if needed.

These particular rules will come into effect in one(1) weeks time. So you all have time to resize or redesign your signatures if they don't fit the rules.

Thanks everyone!

EDIT: No matter how many images you have in a signature, they're counted together as ONE. So if all images combined are bigger than the allowed image size...your signature will be removed. Please check your image size by right clicking on the image and choosing "properties" to view it's size info.

EDIT (29/July/2007) - Signatures may not have more than TWO (2) links in them.
**Staff signatures are the only exception as these are uniform signatures which contain site links not personal ones**

Thank you! I've seen some pretty big signatures! They're beautiful but boy do they take up a lot of space.

[Cassiepeia]

Remember everyone you only have 'til the 24th of this month (that's next wednesday) to change your signatures to fit the new rules.

Just a reminder.

From what I can see it looks to be the perfect size. It's 500 X 200 which is the size recomended.

[fireworksinjuly]

[tommyjake]

[Cassiepeia]

You need 30 posts before you're allowed a signature.

Oh I see,thats fair guess I should of read the rules.

Im going to do that right now lol thank you.

i have a question, since my signature was just removed.

i understand the pixel limit - however, mine was over in one aspect and under in another. comparing my signature to say, fireworks signature- mine is approximately half as big as hers and in no way fills a full screen.

if one is reasonable and happens to have one that is a little wider, but noticeably thinner, cant we make an exception? i have one little line of text (that i can remove), but that is the pic i would like to use, and its much smaller even now, than many OTHER people who have multiple images/lines in their signature.

[Cassiepeia]

Signatures must be no more than 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall. No exceptions, sorry.

Cass.

My signature is with in the limits... 470x200 and less then 4 lines of text.


Even when I had the wedding countdown in there it was less then 4 lines of text, but I didnt like how that looked so it came out.

I hated having to modify my sig, way back when, but, we can't bend the rules. No slippery slope riding here.

I didn't see it Kim, but I would be willing to modify it for you if you need that done!
