LOL...

Mrs. Skurvy, your signature is way over the guideline too... it's 197 pixels tall, but the max is 100 (i.e. maximum size of 500x100). Please reduce it!

Dan, I agree this whole thing is an annoying mess. Regarding your warning 'staring back at you for perpetuity'... I'm confident that once the electronic signature enforcement goes into effect, that Mark & Dave won't mind deleting all signature warnings from the record.

Of course, I don't speak for them directly... Mark might even change his mind on the whole idea of going to the enforced sigs - there is a downside... all sigs will be stored on NAM, so that adds to both the disk consumption and the bandwidth consumed.

Personally I think it's worth it anyway, but of course it's not my call.

I'm a moderator on another forum and I have to say, I'm too busy keeping malcontents in check to worry about things like this. Believe me, I know the challenges.

I love my little annoying stick man too. A mod from another board I frequent used him as her avatar & was kind enough to share it with me. If I could figure out how my stupid PSP image animation program works I have a new, very nice siggy ready to stick him in. But I tried playing with the program for the last 3 hours & it's not looking good :impatient who knows maybe the signature fairy will come along & help me out before long

Oh well at least now I have a thread named after me life is good

It's STILL one of the best sigs on the board.

Hmmmmmmm... I never even noticed the fingers thing, too busy looking at the tongue, I guess. Always thought I was a leg-man. Now, I'm thinking I'll have to reconsider that.

The dog nose prints are a must, plus every nut and bolt installed with new mods, current tire pressure, updated fuel level, last time washer fluid was filled, and though optional, number of turn signal clicks from last motor.

Please don't! Does anybody really read those?

I prefer pretty pictures and shiny things.

Yep, it sure is. 300 characters or less, and not offensive. What's it to you?

Heh... actually, I have received many PMs from users asking about certain options I have, what I thought, etc.

I eventually plan on making a nice graphical one, but I am not artistically inclined (at all), so up until now, this has been a lot easier! Besides, my MINI is "Mr. OEM", stuffed to the gills with virtually every OEM option available, and still more to come, including some more very rare options not sold in the US...

A maximum of 300 characters OR an image with dimensions of 500 pixels wide by 100 pixels and filesize of 45KB or less is allowed.

Not that I care, except for the permanent 'infraction' I got from a moderator for the same vile transgression
You would think that OR would mean one OR the other, not both.

I was in a thread earlier today where every single poster had illegal signatures. And no, even under threat of torture, I'm not telling what or who!

Edge ... but just think ... a couple of more JCW bits and then what? Maybe some nice interior JCW CF bits

BTW ... for whats worth and hmm, we dont need another thread to debate it ... some time ago Dave asked me to reduce my sig and it took like 3 mins in photochop to do it. No biggie so I dont understand the whining here. Wow ... I'm backing up

Think mine is too small? Is there a Minimum like in the minimum speed limit?
