    Hi Steve - moderator here and i'm afraid not - the rules have just been clarified to cover this - and the section Earp quotes now says ( My bold)

    Signatures
    • Images are not allowed in signatures.
    • Once you are no longer a new member you can include two non commercial external links, such as to your personal blog, and unlimited links to pages within our site.
    • Links cannot be to sites that contain pornographic or illegal material, or which may reasonably be viewed as advertisements or commercial.
    • Links that are deemed inappropriate, may be removed without warning.
    • Please limit signature real estate. "Billboard" signatures (those that are deemed unreasonably large) may be edited or removed without notice.
    • Signatures also may not contain text with sexual connotations, racial slurs, vulgarity, or content intended to upset a specific member.
    You change from new member to member after 14 days membership and 20 posts

    Thanks, Earp. Yeah, rules like this exist to ensure that people don't sign up to the forum simply to promote themselves in a spammy manner! They need to participate in the forum and establish a presence first. We want to encourage a give and take relationship with other forum members. :)
