Picture & Signature Posting Rules
First an explanation why we need these rules. Some of our members have older computers, slow dial-up or are using WebTV and if pictures are too big, or there are too many pictures on a page, they are unable to open up that thread because the webpage times out before the pictures are loaded. Also, many people still are using a smaller screen size, like 640x480, so posting pictures bigger than 500 pixels wide can push out the margins for them and make the page hard to read.
Signature Size: 500 pixels wide x 300 pixels high total for your complete signature. Animated gifs are alright but do not inbed music into it or use scrolling text.
