Signature Rules (Rev. 26-Feb-09)

Cloud · 2002-08-11 19:43:05

[EDIT] These rules have now been superceeded by the rules on the Signatures Forum - this thread remains as a part of history.

The problem may be with geocities and them not allowing you link to pics on their site.

For images in signatures: 1 image up to 300 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size

You are only allowed one image - you have 2.

I dont know if I'm in the right place here, but I've looked just about everywhere I think. I'm having some trouble inserting an image into my signature.
How exactly is it done?

I tried this with an image which is in my attachments on boards.ie and it didn't seem to work. It just left me with a shortcut to the attachment. Any idea why that is?

I have to say that I think it is quite lame that the mods removed my SIG and I cannot accept it. I guess, some people were 2 jealous, cos' my sig was staggeringly splendid (aaaw, the size - however I'll enjoy my sig in the cool team match sites

Besides why don't the mods pay attention to very crucial things, like the huge amount of swear words in one of the fashion forums ?!?

If you see a thread or post you think is offensive, use the Report This Post link and the mods will look at it.

Just because someone else is doing something bad, doesn't mean you can break the rules though.

Still I think some of the mods should pay more attention to the forums where most people are cursing around like mad leprechauns and the mods created the rule that yer content, in one way or another, should not link to any perverse stuff. I checked out the pages of some mods and the content goes beyond just being horny or lasciviousness. So they break their own rules or what ? But isn't this very amusing indeed ? Really good examples! No wonder everyone contemplates breaking rules *besides I stasrted studying Law :eek: *
