Forum Signature Rules and a word on flash signatures (no longer allowed on ClubLexus)
Dear members:
ClubLexus has recently made a policy change to no longer allow flash signatures on our forum due to problems with many members not following our forum kb size guidelines or hosting the flash in protected locations that do not allow file size verification. A compounding issue is the hosts that are used to serve many of the SWF files, which can be very slow.
Both of these problems serve to significantly slow access down our forums, which is not fair to other members - especially those with slower connections. We've tried for several months to enforce existing rules with flash signatures, but the problems have continued and ClubLexus administration has decided to make this policy change. Moving GIF signatures are still acceptible if they are stored in a single file and are hosted in the ClubLexus gallery.
All flash signatures are being removed and should only be replaced with signatures that meet our forum guidelines.
1) No images physically larger than 450 (wide) X 100 (tall) in total combined size
2) Image file size no larger than 50K from a reliable host, preferrably ClubLexus gallery
3) A maximum of 8 lines of text, including blank lines
4) No for sale posts, WTBs or advertising URL's in signatures unless you are a ClubLexus sponsor
5) PG-rated images signatures only, no profanity
6) Macromedia Flash signatures are prohibited
Thank you for your compliance and understanding.
