Please note, this means that those features that had previously been on regular accounts (like custom title) are no longer enabled.

I'm glad with the news and the way the features and advantages are put here !

Hey, that's great! I have always believed that supporting members should be privileged characters. Ha! Thank you so very much! I love After Hours!

And again, thanks for giving me a home with welcoming arms. (kiss)

awesome! How much of a donation is needed to be a supporter? Not that I would do the minimum but just curious since I am somewhat strapped for cash.

It's a voluntary contribution, donate whatever you wish. You can always donate again later if you want to.

there is no minimum amount but personally i would chose an amount that reflects a little your appreciation for the free service and high quality you receive, after all there are always fees charged by Paypal and CC companies on those type of transactions, having said that I’m sure any amount is appreciated

Great! thanks for the info, I was a former supporter of DI and would be happy to redirect my funds to a more 'friendly' place.

Nope. Not bad at all

Q: Will there be any reasonable limits set on image/gif size in signatures? Some folks tend to get a little carried away and it can have negative impact on readability of the threads.

I'm with you. It's distracting and ... kind of insulting to have something screamed in your face like that, no matter what it is.

That's a good point. I think we'll handle it on a case by case basis. I think too the forum users might end up policing it themselves to a certain extent, but we will look at it if necessary.

Edit:
The Upload Signature field lists the following restriction:
"Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 350 by 100 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller)."
