No, you can use them, just try not making them overly HUGE in that they destract others who are trying to navigate a post.
Usually, if they are too big, I'll edit the image size properties on my end. My access and HTML limitations are better then the normal users default config, so I can add code to resize the image. Usually though, I won't give a rats *** unless someone else complains to me about it. Then I'll usually, just kindly ask you to replace the image with a smaller one that is less destracting.
So far though, I've only had to ask 2 people to change the signature pic because of the size.... I think Royal Orleans was one of them, I don't recall, captainfrenchfry's is kinda big, but it doesn't destract too much. I'd probably limit myself to just about that size if I were you. Possibly smaller.
ALSO, your signature is not showing in posts, because you have not made 25+ posts yet, it will appear soon after, even though you have it made up in your UserCP.

I guess I really should put something about it up in the SITE ANNOUNCEMENTS so as not to confuse anyone.
You'll notice when someone posts, a SCALE icon in the upper righthand corner of there post.
Clicking on this, will open a new box (you may need to enable pop ups on this site for it to work). There you will have 2 options.
One to say you approve of the posters comments, one to say you disapprove.
APPROVAL doesn't mean that you actually AGREE with them per say, but you feel they have contributed a valid point to the subject .vs just being a total DIPSHIT and HI-JACKING the post or topic.
Members with the least ammount of posts, but the highest # of approvals will get the top spots in rank in our REP department.
So its possible to see someone with not so many post rank HIGHER then someone with lots of posts, simply because this person knows how to make some ******* sense when they speak.
BART, being a good example. You can see how members rank HERE.
These ranks are calculated by MEMBERS themselves, and NOT the GF Mod/Admin team.
The higher you rank, the more REP POINTS you yourself can spread when you give someone else REP, as well as how much you can take away when disaproving of a post. The bottom of the barral posters can be found HERE. GF members can SLAM THEM anyway they like, if they are in the RED.
Too much RED, will probably get you banned or tossed into the IDIOT BOX.
Usually whoever has the most RED bars. Has more then likely been a total IDIOT, or have posted many posts with no substance, or BOTH.
The "IDIOT BOX" merely means under your name will be the heading "I AM AN IDIOT" and will also disable one ability to START a thread, or use the SHOUBOX. But they will still be able to respond to posts.
Once you are proclaimed "IDIOT" members can no longer rank you, so GF Mods, will monitor you from then on to see if you have improved any.
What the MODS will be looking for, is not so much your OPINION, but how well you present that opinion to others. If you improve, we will release you from the "IDIOT" status and let you resume normal abilitys.
This REP RANK as it were, doesn't really mean a whole **** of a lot, but it does distinguish fellow GF posters who know how to debate from the ones who are just here to be Trolls, and FORUM WHORES.
If you have posted alot of posts allready, and have probably made some sense, yet STILL don't rank very high. You are probably a FORUM *****, and should instead visit www.whopissedyouoff.com . The fruitpies there CENSOR opinions, and will actually MODERATE posts. ENJOY !!
CRYBABYS, who also have nothing to do but cry about being offended by someone else higher ranking's comments, will usually not asend in rank either.
GF, is UNMODERATED, to a certain degree. MODERATORS, are not here to tell ANYBODY what to think or how to express themselves.
But we ARE here to make sure your fellow posters are not bothered by IDIOTS. If anything, we are here to harass Noobs to see if they can hack the intense debate, then stray them away from serious topics before finally showing them the door if they cry too much or become total retards in there posts.
This system of RANK, ATTITUDE, and HONOR AMONGST ******, ensures MEMBERS will get to debate with some of the BEST ****** on the internet with there own opinions, and there own attitude.
It allows TRUE GF members to be able to flame ANYTHING and EVERYONE they want, as long as they can back up there flame.
MUCH diversity here as well. There is a HUGE assortment of ****** to take on. And if done right, these same ******, will also SIDE WITH YOU in OTHER DEBATES. Even though you have argued with them in another post.
THIS is what we like to see. Members who can fight hard, yet still find a common ground somewhere in the forums on another subject. It keeps our members as a tightly knit group of ****** to each other, and some of the BEST **** debaters you will ever come across.
You will find, the more sense you make, the less a MOD will even bother with you, even if every once in a while, you say or do something to someone else to totally **** them off. We will brush it off as FUNNY. And just let it slide. Simply because you have already proven yourself worthy of debate time and time again by fellow posters, and need no explanation for your ******* attitude.
