Several of you have pics and links in your signature bar and I have been trying to do this myself but I haven't had any luck. Would someone tell me how I can do this, please? Thanks in advance for your help.

success07,

For mine, I had to "host" my picture at a different site. Then I could use the pic web address surrounded by the and tags in my profile signature option.

Whealy - What kind of different site? I'm not sure what "host" and tags are also. Both your avatar and sig are great!

The easiest way to explain is simply compose a normal message like you do now. Notice and review how the tag structures are formed, such as when you place images and links etc... Now go over to your signature and copy that same syntax. You need to do a little testing and work on your end to get it right.

Also you need to be able to host images "somewhere" on the internet and then direct your tags toward it. Again, research free sites that allow you to do this.

Maybe this will help, here is how my Signature looks in it's RAW form. I call it my Frankensig!

Try deleting the 2 spaces between (one before and one after) the [img] and your address.

Put a slash in the ending IMG tag.

JD32,

Change the sig text too:

Notice the last slash in the IMG part (tag). Then you should see your yellow pic. May the force be with you.

Thanks for the help. I have never screwed with avatars before. Air Force forgot that one.
Thanks again.
