Additional Forum Guidelines

[Scott]

These guidelines have been approved by the admin. They will help new members and help the forum stay clutter free.

1. Search Feature: Before posting a new thread, please use the search feature located on the top right in order to avoid having multiple topics of the same subject.

2. Double/Tripple/Quadruple/etc. Posting: Double posting is allowed as long as your previous post is 24+ hours old. Tripple/Quadruple/etc. posting is not allowed. If you need to add to your post, there is an Edit Post button on the bottom of the post.

3. Signature & Avatar Sizes: Please make sure your avatars and signatures are within the forum limits.

The maximum size of your icon is 160 by 160 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller).
The maximum size of your signature image is 600 by 200 pixels or 50.0 KB (whichever is smaller).

If you need to resize your icons/signatures, there are many programs that can do that. I would recommend downloading "GIMP". This is a free photo editing program that is a lot like Photoshop....but free! There are also free tutorials on how to resize photos online.

4. Quoting Photo Rich Posts: When quoting posts with tons of photos, it may help to not include the "Hotlink" of each photo originally posted. This will save bandwidth and give the forum server less work to do. To remove a "Hotlink" from a photo post, simply change the link from...
