How can I set up a signature file?

[Mike1]

Many new members have problems when they try to set up a forum signature. Here are the simple steps to get your signature to appear.

If you look up at the forum ads that appear near the top of every forum page, you will see a darker blue NavBar menu. Click on the User CP link and you will then see a new page with your Control Panel options.

Select the Edit Signature Option in the left column and you will then see a page with a text entry window.

Enter the text that you want to use in your signature (after reading the Signature Policy on the Forum Rules page). Once you have the text entered, you can Preview your signature, to make sure it looks the way you intend. Once you are satisfied with your new signature, click on the Save Signature link.

Please note - if you have posted to the forum prior to saving a signature file, those posts will not display the new signature. However, if you edit your signature at any time, all posts that display your signature will be updated to reflect your edited signature.

When adding or editing a signature, please review the Signature Policy which can be found in the Forum Rules.

Signature Policy
a. Signatures may contain up to a total of five lines (one line being that displayed on a browser opened to 800px width) with text being of small or normal size.

b. Text sizes must be either 1 and 2 (small and normal). Text in signatures is subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, warez, emoticons, etc.

c. Links are permitted in signatures. Links are included within the text limits above. Links to offensive or competitive sites may be subject to removal.

d. Users abusing these rules will be warned.
