I was meaning to ask Ian what options there are to allow us more flexibility in our signatures... image files.. etc..
definitely no more options.
For one, last forum I ran, I didnt allow animated avatars because I found them distracting. But I allowed them here.
As to images in signatures, especially animated ones, it would just make reading a thread very distracting in my opinion. I think the avatar is enough room to make a personal statement.
But in the future, there will be an option for people to upload a pic of their computer and a competition for the coolest computer, with prizes. But I am busy working on another project at the moment, so that could be a few months off.
