Hope that infraction comes off my profile,this was unintentional.

Thanks

I almost forgot,I have noticed some people have sig images much larger,would they be donators to the forum and so are allowed more freedoms?

Thanks again

Paul, I understand your question but If I may I'd suggest you let the matter drop....the infraction brought 0 points and IIRC the sig was quite a size.

Neal is very relaxed about sig sizes (see his earlier post on this thread) and yes there are some that go beyond the dimensions he quoted but in a case where one 'jumps out' it is not unusual for a moderator to take a light form of action on occasion.

Donators to the forums are treated no more favourably than any other forum member (moderators included).

As Jim said, I issued a warning, which does not carry any points. Though even if it had been an infraction, the point value would have been 1, and you need 13 points to get a time out. Points generally expire in 1 to 2 weeks.

Your sig attracted my notice because it was bigger than the posts I had been seeing from you by a good margin. I also factor in the text along with the image in the signature. So you could have a 10x10 pixel sig, but 12 lines of text and get an infraction for it because of the amount of text.

Perhaps......shrink the image before uploading to photobucket.

Just guessing, but I suspect photobucket did this, or you used the wrong url at PB to link to.

Another alternative Paul.....you could send me what tou'd like and I'd gladly size it for you.
