    It'd be nice if the moderators can modify their respective boards so that when a newbie goes to post a new topic, a pop up stops them, and won't let them post until they've clicked on a link in the pop up that leads to any FAQ or Ultimate Sticky on that board.

    mods don't have boards as we just float all over the place. the admin have to modify the code for what you want so time will tell if it happens or not.

    Cool idea, but even if they clicked a link to faqs, there is no guarantee they would actually read them. But then again, they might.

    I have even some older members not do a search or look in the faqs for that matter.

    smokyrain, edit your sig to conform to forum specs ASAP as yours reads 104,620 bytes. convert it to jpeg will reduce kilobytes size.
    2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

    Sorry I was going by pixel size, forgot the 50kb part.

    I will have to get it remade as it sucks now as a jpeg.

    Thanks varnull

    My daughter(who is 12) likes to make signatures, and made mine for me.
    So I will get her to fix it or make a new one

    lol, no problem.

    I do know what your talking about.

    I have done some work with Adobe photoshop, but she is having fun doing it.
    She makes graphics and signatures for people all the time on a phoenix wright forum. People request them from her.
    So I thought it would be fun to ask her to make it for me.

    I asked her for the original picture she was working with, but she won't give it too me, lol.
    Stubborn little thing she is.

    Lol, yeah.. I am "mom" though, not dad. How would ya know

    I built all our computers, as we all don't share well.

    We have 3 computers on the go, 1 spare and 2 laptops at the moment.

    Started out with one P75 clocked at 133 in 1999, lol.

    I just don't have as much time anymore to do these things, while she does and she likes learning.
