Subject: Signature Guidelines Sun Sep 12, 2010 1:39 am
Signature guidelines are in place due to the following:
- Overly large images are annoying in every single post a user makes. - Large images means a larger file size. - Larger file size means longer to load a page. - Some people use the forum on mobile devices such as a phone, iPod, PSP. - These mobile devices are only small and have limited cache etc which results in slower loading of pages, some/most images/text not loading.
Signature Guidelines allow images to be kept at an appropriate size, appropriate content and also allow ease of use on the forums.
----------
The following must be taken into account when using a signature:
- No rude/profound content may be used. - No abusive/aggressive content may be used. - No offensive/discriminative content may be used.
- A signature may only have 1 image within it.
- Size of a whole signature must be within the limitations of 400x150 (pixels). For Example:
- A signature must consist of no more than 3 lines of text (2 lines if one is used by an image). For Example:
