Keep signatures short
In the interest of controlling bandwidth and enhancing readability, extravagant or distracting signatures are strongly discouraged. The forum provides a robust profile capability for contact information and personalization. If you use a signature, it may not exceed 5 lines. Images in signatures may not exceed 100 x 500 pixels. No signature shall exceed a height of 100px plus one line of default text. Violations may be edited without notice.

Two common questions:
Q: What does "extravagant or distracting" mean?
A: If a reader's eye is drawn to your signature rather than to the content of your post, your signature may be distracting. Examples include animations, extreme formatting, etc.
Q: I don't understand what you're saying about image sizes.
A: Maybe an example will help!
... and this is a line of default signature text. Learn more.
It's enjoyable to have a little fun with our avatars and signatures. As long as we keep the main purpose of Cairn Talk at the forefront --- which is your unique contributions, not the "wrapping paper" of signatures and avatars -- everything's fine.
Thanks!
