toothness Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Is it accurate to say that elaborate signatures are not allowed? I spent a bunch of time creating one in Photoshop but I am having trouble having the hosting link to appear. I only see little lightsaber sigs that were made with text. help?

Cirindi Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 These forums don't support those kinds of signatures. Text only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeelitest Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I would guess that they are doing this for one or two reasons. Random users uploading or embedding content(in this case images) could result in an easy way to spread viruses if an exploit is found in a browser's image rendering software. The far more likely reason is it is harder to police objectionable content in images than in text. They seem to be quite strict about keeping this place as family friendly as possible. Not a fan it personally, but hey, I didn't make the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
