Well, I didn't really think I had that many characters in my signature...showing up on the forum, each line is fairly short in length.

But I did manage to figure it out. I had to merge the last two lines into one line, then align left the last line so that it would appear as three separate lines. Very odd...but at least it worked.

I have a rather silly question. I noticed my little reputation thing and thought to myself "you should give some kudos to some of the other WW players, as they did a spectacular job, etc., etc." So I tried. But it won't let me go to it. I wondered if it was my IE acting up, so I tried Firefox, but still to no avail. Somehow I managed to get to Noggie's (don't ask me how I did that) but I keep getting some error. I know it's really not that big of a deal, but it irks me that it won't work. Any suggestions?

Right-click on it and tell it to open in a new browser or new tab.

This was already asked in the "Best Avatar" thread, but I think there was no answer.

Is it possible to upload an animated avatar? I'm told "You may not upload animated images." even when both size criterias are taken into account.

Volo, animated avatars tend to be quite distracting (we've had some in the past!), and since we are here to read what others have posted, not to see a site full of avatars (there are other sites for that!), we'd rather have members choose non-animated pictures as their avatars. It's really only supposed to be a visible identification of the person who's writing so that you can recognize others' posts easily.

Yes, sure. It's ok with me, but I was just asking if it is intentional that one can't upload them anymore.
