Signature Rules

Hello everyone

I think it was about time that I posted some rules about the Signatures we use on this forum.
Please follow them.

1. Large signatures: Do not post several different big pictures and several different quotes. All those things together make the signature look big and it can be annoying, especially when people post 1 line replies.

2. Large fonts. Please do not use very large fonts in your signature, try and keep it down to a normal size font.

3. Images. You are not allowed to use more than 3 pictures in your signature (This does not apply to smiley's or small icons). Please do not post big pictures. The maximum size for a regular picture in your signature is 300W X 170H. The maximum size for a banner is 550W X 120H. If you use a picture or banner close to the dimensions I just mentioned, your two other allowed pictures should be small, otherwise, the signature will be too large and unacceptable. To check the size of your images, right click on the picture and choose properties, which will give you the size information.

4. Animated GIFs - These are fine as long as the file size of the image isn't too large. I still have to figure out what the size limit should be so if you have an animated gif you want to use, PM me about it and I will take a look at it. If the size of the file is too big, it won't be allowed.

5. Offensive / Vulgar – Try to make your sigs PG13, do not post anything that is offensive.

Consequences of not following the rules:
1st Offense: Warning
2nd Offense: Signature will be deleted with 2nd warning
3rd Offense: Your signature feature will be disabled.

Since I just posted these rules, I will be lenient up to 10 days after I post this, but after that, you know the consequences.

Thank you all for your cooperation. Let's keep our forum looking clean and tidy.

Is my sig too big, Shirley? :think:

It looks like it Susie... I think banners are 550W by 120H... yours is bigger than 120 height.

I thought so, Carol.

Please follow the signature rules.

Oh thank you for warning me. Some of my favorite photos are large, so I will resize them. Thank you.

Good cuz it's annoying when ppl have huge pics in singnatures.

Julia, you might want to think about re sizing your signature...

We have a lot of new members to the prairie and I just want to remind everyone to read the forum rules as well as the signature rules. We need to follow these rules in order to keep the forum a nice place to be. Hope you enjoy your stay on the prairie.

Thanks for re posting! And yes to much in a signature makes this site look messy.

How does someone post a photo? I have noticed that some of the ones with 10% progress has a photo. Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you mean an avatar? (The picture under a person's name.) Anyone is allowed to post those - it doesn't depend on your progress. And the rules are pretty simple. Here's a link to them:

Avatar Rules

To upload an avatar, you go to the top of the page, and click "profile". That will take you to a new page, where you click "avatar". If you have a picture in your computer that you'd like to use, click in the "Browse" box, and it will open up a box for you to click on the image you'd like to load. Just double-click the image you want to use, and then at the bottom of the page, click "Save".

Thank you for your help Lisa.

You're welcome! And I love your avatar! Ah, the childhood memories!
