It's playing "Black eyed peas - Hey Mama"
Can our sigs play music or is that illegal?

No, Your sig is not legal.

First of all, you have more than one image.

Second, you are not allowed imbedded sounds.

Third, with all of your text, it's way to annoyingly large.

Fourth, Please only post your sig once per thread, simply uncheck the "Show Signature" when you're replying.

The Filesize is way too large.

Please refer to the sig image guidelines.

SIGNATURE GUIDELINES
Unlike most sites that only allow you a small avatar, we do allow you to post images in your signature. However, we do have some guidelines. Any user found violating the guidelines will have thier signature deleted. If you repeated break the guidelines you will be banned.

• Do not use the [quote] tag - it takes up too much space. If you wish to quote someone in your sig, just us quotation marks.

• Do not use large sized fonts, use the default size or smaller. Avoid excessive colors.

• Images must remain in good taste and refrain from being offensive, as well as staying within the general forum rules.

• If you use a sig image, try to have that image placed on your own server or webspace. (not on automags.org) If you lack any place to host your image, you may attach it in the friendly corner and link it from there.

• You are allowed ONE sig image. Not 2 or 3 small images - but ONE.

• Sig images may NOT be larger than 175 x 350 pixels. ANY image found taller than 175px or longer than 350px will be removed. Images must be under 20k. These are guidelines and it is recommend that your sig images be smaller than the maximum allowed numbers. Under 15K is prefered, and the smaller the image the better.

• Text shall be limited to a reasonable ammount. If your sig image is the full 175x350px size, then you will only be allowed 2-3 lines of text. If your image is much smaller, you will be allowed more (say up to 6 lines). Its a signature, you dont need to quote the entire Encyclopedia Britanica, or itemize every item in your house. Just a few quips to give your signature some character.

• A signature image is a privilege, not a right. Images that are inappropriate or distracting may be deleted at the moderator’s discretion.

They, and the other forum rules, can be found here:

on sig size: mine is exactly 175x350. so, if its bigger than mine, its too big.

cphillip's is bigger than that (with the text)

Why is the width limited? People still using 56k deserve to suffer.

I think that we should be able to make it pretty wide, like 550 mabey. Just as long as it stays under 20 and close to 15, I think it should be fine.

I would suggest using flash if you really feel the need for fancy sigs. Although on one forum I used to browse EVERYONE used a flash sig with music on rollover. Needless to say they soon disabled flash sigs.

Everything a person can want can be done with a simple image + a bit of text. COmon people, this isn't a graphics art show. ;)

Mine is well within the limits. In size and in text. We talking file size here not display size. Read the rules then you will know.

Removed music from signature. I would have earlier but I thought he had already done so because it was not playing when I was in here.
