Or can you?

You can change the color by using the color command, but you have to do it manually.  In order for this to display to you, I have inserted an extra space between the brackets.  When you do this, delete the extra spaces.

An example:

[ color=blue ]This is my signature line![ /color ]

becomes...

This is my signature line!

I would prefer people not change the size or font of the signature line only to keep clutter to a minimum.  On some forums, people sign every message with a huge picture and some scrolling dancing huge signature text and it makes things look circus-like.  But feel free to change the color.  The choices are:

Black, red, yellow, pink, green, orange, purple, blue, beige, brown, teal, maroon, navy, and lime green.

Some colors obviously work better than others with the forum template I am using.  I think the best choices are the ones that blend well tastefully.  For me, regular black works.

Hi Phillip,

First, thanks so much for allowing us displaced Tremblayans to have this site as a wonderful home, and being so welcoming and making yourself available to us for questions and the like. This place is fantastic!

I have a question about avatars. I've tried to solve this on my own, but alas, no luck. I have an animated gif avatar, which is originally 100x100, 20.08 kb. When I use it on this site, it, of course, shrinks to 65x65, but it's no longer animated. Do you have any ideas to retain the animation when I use the icon here? Is there a size limit to icons?  Thanks for any help.

There is no file size limit that I am aware of, however, re-sized avatars are converted to PNG format which is higher resolution than JPEG.  My guess here is that when the size is reduced to 65x65 by the system, it also converts it to PNG and that may be eliminating the animated quality of the avatar.  If you can use an image editor of some kind to reduce it to 65x65 first and then upload it, the system should leave it alone.  Let me know if this resolves the problem.
