Signatures

Your signature is basically what appears at the bottom of every post you make. What you choose to have in your signature is entirely up to you.

We do however have some rules regarding signatures that should be followed:

[*] You are not allowed images or banners in your signatures. This is because it makes the forum look untidy and means the pages take a long time to load.

[*] Your signature should not be more than five lines of length. This rule was introduced again to keep things neat. Ideally we want people to keep their signatures small and tidy so we'd me more likely to penalise you for three lines of huge text with massive spaces between then six or seven lines of tiny text that was really compact.

Nice Signature length

Changing your signature


Go into your control panel and click, "Edit signature" -



You will see a formatting toolbar -

On that toolbar there will be lots of nice options for you to format your Signature. If you leave your cursor over them, it should tell you what they are.

Type what you like in (within reason) but please be aware that the moderators do have the ability to edit your signatures and if you post anything offensive/ against the rules/ overlly large/ in too big a font etc. We will ask you to remove it or remove it for you.
