Rules on the use of signatures We are going to implement some restrictions for the image size of your signature. - Signatures may contain up to five lines (one line being that displayed on a browser opened to 800px width) of text (of small or normal size) and/or one image, valid combinations include; a single image of no more than 75px high, 600px wide and 20KB in size. Signatures containing an image this large may also include one line of small size text. Signatures containing an image of 30px high may include up to three lines of small size text or two lines of normal size text. Images of 15px height or less may allow up to three lines of normal size text or four lines of small size text. - Text sizes should be between 2 and 3. Text in signatures is subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, warez, emoticons, etc. - Links are permitted in signatures. Such links may be made to non-ARP related materials, commercial ventures, etc. Links are included within the text and image limits above. Links to offensive sites may be subject to removal. - Users abusing these rules will be warned. The reason for this rule is because many image signatures found in this forum are way too big, not only they slows down the forum loading time, they're also bad for dialup users. Image signature can be annoying too when reading the post contents. We will give you about 1 week's time to change your signature. After that, we may choose to PM you, or remove your image signature without your consent.
