Signature blocks are back!

[smb]

All Full Members can now set-up a signature in their profile, which will show-up under their Forums posts.

As this has now popped up again, I would take the opportunity to ask is it only text based sig's that we can use or is there like a facility to get banners or images instead? 

[Newbie]

You can insert up to three URLs (plain text links) OR three images, (or any combination thereof) - but the images have to be quite small, otherwise they will muck-up the display... But you will find it's best to stick to one or two URLs and only one image. Otherwise you will keep getting error messages when you try to create your signature.

Full Members can not insert HTML. Not even moderators are allowed to do that. It is just too dangerous for the security of the site. So that pretty well rules out banners - unless they are just plain images without any embedded links.

The other thing to realize is that your signature only shows up in your Forum posts. (These things are really just a hangover from the good old days when Forums-based websites were all the rage...)

To create your signature, you will not find it under Edit Profile... You need to go to your Account Settings.

Very thorough and helpful info, Newbie. Thanks for letting me know, may see how it looks with what I have in mind, cheers!

You've got it cracked!!

I've got a question for you admin..

I already have 10 posts. Is it ok for me to post my signature now?

Would you ban me if I do so?

I was just asking, because I've already encountered a lot of forum sites that if I post my signature with less than 10 posts made,they instantly banned me in their forum site. And I can do nothing about it.

The "Photography Course" link in your signature doesn't work.

It appears to be a dead link. ("Not Found")

Please update your signature block with a live link.

I will remove the existing link from your signature block as I can't have too many dead links on the site. (It's bad for my search engine rankings...)
