Avatar Upload: We do allow members to upload avatars if absolutely necessary of 64x64px and 10K in size, but we would prefer you to link your images from another server. If your avatar and / or signature contains images over this limit, they may be removed without warning by a forum staff member. Our forum restricts members to certain sizes of avatars, but not signatures as of yet. If a PM or email is sent to you regarding this matter, simply change or resize your images so that they are within the rules, to avoid further action being taken by staff against your account.
We want to and try to be a 56K dialup modem friendly website as not everyone can acquire broadband. Respect others and they will respect you. We also allow flash signatures if members desire, but again must they must coincide with the above rules! However, any animated content in signatures MUST NOT contain any audio. That includes music, sound effects etc. We will stress that if you DO NOT KNOW HOW to edit/resize to make your images to coincide with our rules, do not insert/post them 'assuming' that it will ok and no-one will notice. Staff are on constant lookout and will remove offending signatures/avatars and images immediately. #-----------------------------------------------------------------#
