Ok I am so confused now. This is the 3rd pm I got over signatures.
What are we allowed to use. I know that it can only use 2 lines. Now we are not allowed to use Bold why?
It does not make it that much bigger. It just makes it easier to read.
I just decided to remove mine cause noone seems satisfied in how I do my wording or anything.
Maybe banning sigs will do better for all of us.
I am not trying to cause trouble I am trying to figure out what everyone wants.

I wish I had some answers, but I don't. I can't remember what your sig looked like before. I checked the bit about creating sigs, and it just says where it will be displayed and how many characters. Sorry. I hope you get it sorted out soon.

i didnt see your previous sig, the rules are... i presume bold is formatting, and if you were advertising, then that would be self promotion which is also not allowed. could you maybe post the siggy you want to use here so we can sort it out for you? i dont think banning sigs for everyone is necessary, this forum has strict rules reguarding sigs, but it works well here provided we all stick to them.

Thanks guys. I am just going to keep it off for now. I had my sisters birthday/death and pawstastic as well.

Sorry, I thought I explained it clearly in my pm to you Angel. I just took out the bold, as it does increase the size of the font by making it thicker.
We decided on a blanket ban on formatting text as it avoids us having people argue that the font they use makes the text smaller etc. It's more straightforward for us (and for people to follow) to just to allow standard text. But maybe we do need to clarify it, as signatures keep becoming an issue.
I didn't remove the link to your website, as I thought it was a general website link, and there happens to be a forum on your site, which we wouldn't have a problem with.

I understood where you were coming from. My thing was that it was different things each time. once was from you Treen which is that pm you sent me. It is no biggie. I understand that. So I figured for now I'll keep it off.

My thing was that it was different things each time. I remember it going over three lines before, but if a staff member contacts you about your sig, they will explain which part of the guidelines it's about. I made the decision to take the bold out myself (rather than asking you to) thinking it'd make it clearer that what was left was fine. So I figured for now I'll keep it off. That's your decision, but if you're not clear on what's allowed, you can always just pm a member of staff asking for it to be checked, it only takes a moment!
