After you have registered, you may set your sig(signature). This is a piece of text that you would like to be inserted at the end of all your posts, a little like having headed note paper.

NOTE: HeavenGames does NOT allow pictures in signatures. Therefore, the image tag is disabled. However, you can use smilies in your signature, but don't put more than 5 in them, as these take up a lot of bandwith + loading time for slow connection users. HTML code, javascript, php and the quote tags are disabled as well.

If the administrator has enabled signatures, then you will have the option to include your signature on any posts you make. If you have specified a signature, then the board will automatically append your signature to any messages you post.

You can set your signature by editing your profile and clicking on the "Edit Signature" link.

To adjust your profile go to the editing profile section of the forum. Go to the bottom of that page and insert anything you want as your signature.

Signature Creation

You can create various signatures, with colors or any other features. You can use whatever you like. Mind that most forums don't prefer using racistic, hate, violent or sex related words/pictures/html.

Creating a signature is fairly easy. Here are some examples of what you could use in your signature:

- Colors
- UBBcode
- Quotes
- ASCII art
- Links (you may not use any links that are against the CoC, such as peer2peer or sex related links. Links to scn teams or clan websites are allowed though)

The first thing you should do is decide what do you want do display in your signature. Let's take a quote for example:

"Until Philosophers are kings...cities will never have rest from their troubles"-Plato

Next, we decide what kind of colors we use. We use the default text colour in our quote:

"Until Philosophers are kings...cities will never have rest from their troubles"-Plato

Color tags:

[ c=007700 ][/c] (Note: the spaces should not be there, this goes for the entire guide)

Then, we decide wether we want to add some UBB code. We will use Bold and Italic.

""Until Philosophers are kings...cities will never have rest from their troubles"-Plato

Now we have created a nice sig. But, we can make it even look cooler, we're gonna use fading colors.

Fading colors are two colors combined and fade to each other:

"Until Philosophers are kings...cities will never have rest from their troubles"-Plato

Tags used:

[ c=007700-000077 ][/c]

Mark the stripe between the two color codes, this combines the two colors together, and makes them fade. Now some people have fading-fading (also known as double-fading) colors in the same sentence. "How the heck do they make such sigs?" you ask. Well, it's very easy to do. You have to use the same fading method, but you have to change the color codes.

Here's how it looks when using the fading colors:

Image/Picture signatures

Yup, they are possible, in a non-official way. I will just use the post reply button. First of all, HG does NOT allow any porn/warez/cracks images in signatures or links. So don't use it in your sig, or you risk getting banned. Another note: don't make the images huge, keep em small. Don't make them larger than 200x300 pixels (I think this is a reasonable limit).

Creating Image Signatures

First of all, have a host which allows image hotlinking.(Imageshack, Photobucket) Create a nice sig in programs such as MS Paint, Photoshop or whatever you like. Now, use the following picture as the representing "signature line" (also known as the divider). In this example I'll be using FD2's images.

[ img ][ url ]http://bfme2.heavengames.com/forums/reply.gif[/url][/img]

Gives you:

Then, include the link to your own made image:

[ img ][ url ]http://bfme2.heavengames.com/forums/reply.gif[/url][/img]

Gives you:

[ img ][ url ]http://bfme2.heavengames.com/forums/reply.gif[/url][/img]

Gives you:

If you want it like this, turn your original signature off, and copy it under every post you make. Yes, it's annoying to do it everytime, but hey, it's an image sig...

Here are some patterns you can use as well:
