The forum has been upgraded to version 1.1.9. If you see any bugs, please report the issue to the staffers. Thanks!

Sorry for the inconvenience guys! Baleaheads has been down for these few days. Now it is up and running again! My host is facing some virus issues with the server but it has been fixed!

Hello Baleheads.  This announcement is just a reminder regarding permission to use the artwork of other members and giving credit to that member in the posting of your signature or avatar.

If you check our FAQ page, you will see it says the following:

Q: I want a signature and/or an avatar. Is there any Christian artwork I could use?

A: Yes. Some of our members are very talented and kind enough to share their Christian related art in the board named: "Christian Bale Fan Stuff". For non-Christian related artworks go to the board "Artistic Corner". Before you use any of the artwork, please ask the member for permission and when you use it, always give the appropriate credit to him/her. The best way is to place a message under the signature or/and the avatar thanking the member.

For more information, please check our FAQ page at You are not allowed to view links.

Giving credit to the member that created the artwork is a courtesy that we extend to each other here.  In fact, throughout the internet, it is a courtesy that people give to one another as a matter of course.  If any of you have any questions, please PM me or any of the other moderators with your questions.

Thanks Baleheads.

Sincerely,
The Staffers at Baleheads.com

Dear Baleheads,

As some of you may have already learned, some of the higher priced items listed in The Shop are not really set up yet to be delivered into your Inventory.  Angelic is working on getting those items in The Shop to function correctly, and eventually, to add more items to The Shop.

In the meantime, we would recommend that you hold your money for now until such time that the The Shop is fully up and running.  Angelic should be making an announcement once everything is set and ready to go.  If there are any further questions, please do not hesitate to PM one of the Moderators.

We thank you all for your patience!

Sincerely,
The Staffers at Baleheads.com

Hello Baleheads,

The staff has noticed an increased number of signature sizes that are larger than the forum regulations.  Below is the information for max signature size.  We have also included the information for avatar and picture sizes for you to keep in mind as well. Please check your specifications and size accordingly.


Signature Size:
No larger than 500(width) X 300(height) and no bigger than 100k. If necessary, go to your image hosting site and  resize accordingly. In order to check the dimensions of your signature, go to the picture, right click on it and go to properties. If you use a text signature, it can't be longer than 300 characters.
(Special Note:  All members with a pet rock should not have it any larger than 150 x 150 and it should be placed NEXT to your signature, not underneath.)

Avatar Size:
No larger than 100X100.

Posting Pictures:
Please, only post pictures smaller than 800 X 600! You can resize huge pictures in your picture hosting site.  If the image you wish to post on any thread is larger than 800 X 600 please post a link. Do not direct link!!!


All of this information and more, can be found on the FAQ page. You are not allowed to view links.
