Yeah. Let's hope not too many French Canadians obscure Kerrigan's virgin sight.

My, they could turn you into a separatist! Even though 2/3 of those guys are Canadians and want to stay in Canada...

Crispeace, bienvenue à macnn. Prends garde: ici, il y a des gens qui sont plutôt rébarbatifs aux Français, surtout dans le political lounge.

Mais quand même, la plupart sont de bonnes gens. Amuses-toi bien!

That assumes Monique could have a complete conversation with said newbie. She tends to get sort of derailed...

Welcome, Crispeace! I won't even try to type anything in French beyond <bienvenue!> (not only does my keyboard not support French, my brain doesn't either). Your English isn't so bad that we can't decipher it-at least working together.

The signature issue is pretty simple: to avoid using up too much screen space with signatures, we limit them to four lines of (here's the important part for you) standard-sized text, or one line with a picture no larger than 200 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall-and no animations. So Gossamer's point is that your large, magenta "FRENCH MACGIVRÉE !!!!!" is too large.

Again, bienvenue!

Thank's. Don't hesitate to correct me, I seriously need lessons...

Is it better like this ?

Well before he changed it, there were about 4 or 5 line breaks in between the link and the magenta text. I think at this point he should be okay. Not to be playing Mod or anything...

Almost perfect, Crispeace. Now if you'll just get rid of the tags that make the FRENCH MACGIVREE!!!! text so big, it will be perfect.
