SIZE REQUIREMENTS


Avatars should be no larger than 80 pixels tall and wide.


Combined text and images of signatures should be no larged than 100 pixels tall and images no longer than 600 pixels wide.

The maximum size the forums will allow for the avatar is 80x80 pixels, but if you are found to not be following the signature rule, your signature will be removed or whatever needed to make the message clear. If you like something that's too large for your sig, or would like to put some extra text in your sig, please use the spoiler tag. To do that click the "Spoiler" button above the white box. It should be on the far right of all the other text code buttons. Click it again once you are done with the text that you want to hide. To do that, you use the spoiler BB code, which is the following:

PHP Code:
