Hello-
After almost three weeks I can finally post. Yah! (Thanks to phi and the TSR's in resolving my issue. I still however have no where to save a Sig. I assume that I am supposed to be able to do that in 'my profile' somewhere, but I have no such option. Can I get a little help?
Thanks.
Hello Cryptonomicon, It should be listed as Signature, directly under Biography, on the My Profile page.
Hi DavidK,
I figured it would be there, however it is not. Right after Biography the Preferences tab starts, with just some yes/no questions. Right after that is the Persona Management section. Again, I have no place to input a signature or an avatar.
Could you please help me? If you need a screenshot please let me know. Otherwise feel free to log into the account if you need to.
Sounds more like a forum rank issue then. Could be that you now need to be registered on the forums for a certain period of time to be allowed to use a signature. Jeffers
There are some serious problems with these forums at the moment due to the worst test and implimentation plan I have ever been witness to. Basically they're a work in progress and were being abused by some people who think it better to destroy something they don't like, instead of just leaving. hence all these restrictions on new members.
Post messages, contribute to the community you will get these things bestowed upon you... Of course it's just a picture

At any rate, I had thought that those players were abusing the 'Free Trial' mechanism. Since I am a paying customer, I had assumed that the problems I am having were technical mishaps, not enforced doctrines. Even so, it would be nice to have official word on waiting periods (if that is indeed my problem) somewhere. It seems rather silly though to make someone wait two weeks to be able to post, and some quantity longer to have Signature privilages. I mean, how likely is it that someone is going to pay for the game and pay for a monthly fee just to spam and get banned right away. Not very likely in my opinion. As I said before, I am still mildly irritated that I have to earn the right to have a Signature/Avatar.I do greatly appreciate the help and comments I've received here though!And you're right phi, it is just a picture Its just that knowing that something is not working properly magnifies its effect to me, and makes constantly want to fix it.

I don't know the answer off the top of my head, but I am trying to find someone who does. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for your assistance!
And Chuui, thank you for your thorough explanation. I suppose it does make some degree of sense, but you would think that all new users would at least have full access to one sub-forum, more specifically this Technical Support forum. I appreciate the fact that it is probably nice to not have have forums clouded with the questions of novices, but many new players do have legitimate questions that need to be asked.
At any rate I think I understand the process now. It would still be nice if 'Walrus' or the Dev. team could post the logistics somewhere however.

It's not a case of n00b questions, but rather there were certain notorious persons abusing the forums with a great many messages that breached forums rules and were aimed at disrupting the community. (revealing leaked storyline info, abusing staff and players, that sort of thing)
So far, the only players allowed to have avatars are the ones who have been on these forums (Joined date) for at least a full year.
As for your current sig situation, it's odd.
For now, remember, you can always insert a sig as an image in your posts. I hope that it all works itself out soon.
