Go under your profile, then select signature from the list that runs left to right and you'll see where to Browse for your pic

Hi Mary.

I've moved your question to the "Technical Questions" forum. You should be able to find the answer in the 'sticky' post at the top of the forum. It requires some knowledge of vB code. Scroll to the bottom of the screen where it says "forum rules". It'll say "vB code is on" (or off). Click that to get to a list of codes. Hope that helps.

Question to Wa'il or Doreen - is there a more prominent link to the vB code "cheat sheet" that I couldn't find? Could we stick one in the FAQ?

Unfortunately, signature pictures can't be uploaded from your hard drive. They can only be linked to an image that's posted on a webpage that allows hyper-linking.

Oh crapola - I forgot.

Sorry, Mary.

Still applies, though.

Once you upload your image to your webspace, you can link to it with the [ img ] code.

Ooops, my bad before...sorry for the wrong info. You'd need to have your pic on a website of your own or someone else's...then you put in

[img]your website addy/file name[/img]

Hope that helps

I still don't get it, When I go up to my signature, do I copy and paste the website that has the picture I want to use and then add img to front and back of it. Sorry I just don't have any clue on this one, I really need "walked thru"
example [img.www.website.com/my picture.img] would it look something like this?

Hope this is helpful to you all.

I do believe I've got it!!!

Just takes me awhile.....I am getting older

I hope no one minds if I bump this up. I have come across a few people who are having problems adding pics to their Signatures.

ok...i got it!! when you find a pic that you want to put in your siggie and its on your hard drive, you first have to upload it into your gallery....once its in your gallery, right click on it and copy....then go to your siggie area and on the place where you would write your message right click again and paste...whalah!!! it'll be there!! if its too big for your liking you'll have to edit the picture in your documents and adjust the size....under imaging...attributes....adjust size to your liking, then upload back into gallery and follow the above steps again!! too cool!!
