Signatures are currently allowed at PTO, but are a privilege that may be revoked if abused.

- Signatures may not contain links (e-mail, web, embedded or otherwise), with the exception of a counter.

- Signatures may not contain advertisements.

- Signatures may not contain any type of sexual or risqué content (completely up to Admin discretion.)

- Graphics used may not have embedded links or files. This includes e-mail and web addresses, as well as pop-up windows and music videos.

- Anything that causes the forum load time to be substantially lower for dial-up members.

- Counters are limited to one (1) and may not include an additional graphic (clip art, photo, etc.)

- Users may have up to three (3) graphics, provided the total HEIGHT of the graphics do not exceed 500 pixels when stacked, and all graphics are optimized for the web (i.e. 72 dpi). The width of ANY graphic may never exceed 500 pixels. (For example, if you have three graphics in your signature, total up the height of each. If the number is less than 500 pixels, you are within bounds. If it exceeds 500 you must resize your graphics to fit within policy.)

- Graphics include, but are not limited to: counters, photographs, clip art, blinkies, dolls, sparkling names, or any file that must be hosted elsewhere to be used in a signature.

- Text may be used and is not considered a graphic. However, text used in addition to one or more graphics must be size 1, 2 or 3. Text that is size 4, 5, 6 or 7 will be considered a graphic, and therefore part of the three (3) graphics allowed.

Admin reserves the right to remove or edit any member’s signature at any time to have it comply with PTO policy without notification.
