Just a word about the Avatars and Signatures that I want to see (or not see) in our forum.

Avatars can be pretty much anything you like that is not Adult in nature. The cleaner the better though, as we may have minors in the Arcade. U.S. folks can think PG rated. Animations are fine. Be sure to shrink animated Avatars
before you upload them or vBulletin will shrink them and you will lose the animation. Also, remember that higher Ranks
(see reputation) will be able to post Avatars with bigger file sizes and dimensions.

Signatures. It would seem this is a HUGE forum issue. So much so that vBulletin 3.6.0 has a neat setup for sigs.
You may NOT use IMG tags in your siggy. This makes it difficult for you to have big obnoxious graphics or tons of piccys. Sorry.
There is an ability to UPLOAD 1 (one) sig graphic however. The limits in size and dimensions are given in your UserCP under Signature options.
If you upload an acceptable picture, there will be a link that allows you to include this graphic in your signature.
A code like this: [sig.....][../...sig] will appear in your edit box. This IS your signature. You may center it, or highlight it and use as a link or whatever.
You may add smilies and text as you wish. vBulletin has options for limiting that too, but I do not know the extent or if they are necessary.
Content: Same standards as for Avatars. Keep it clean.
This is of course more guideline than Rule. I just figured something should be said, so that you have just that: a guideline.
If you need help resizing anything let myself or one of the Mods know. We can take care of it for you.
Thanks,
Signatures and Avatars
