Yeah...I think you need to try fixing the siggy problem. I can never put and images without it showing up as:

[img]C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\My Documents\My Pictures\tucker.jpg[img]

or something like that. it only accepts certain image adresses, so most of the things dont show up :tired2: :( :sad:

You can't upload siggies. They can only be from web addresses. Such as Photobucket, Tiny pic, ect. ;)

I know, but im saying they should ALLOW you to upload ones. it would make things much easier for me and probably other people, too.

It's because if you upload a File onto a site, then that site now is hosting more data and it costs them more money. So alot of places don't allow 'raw' uploading form a hard drive. Something like that anyways

You have to upload your image to an Image Hosting Service, such as Photobucket.

http://photobucket.com/ <-- Go here and sign up for an account, it’s completly free! This allows you to upload images from your computer and share them on websites such as MLK. You need to upload the image to your Photobucket album, and copy the image URL into the code LadyAnette gave you. (right-click on the image, choose properties and copy the image link after uploading it to photobucket)

Hope that helps! :)

Basically, a signature links to an image somewhere else on the internet. The picture has to be <on> the internet before the forum programs can find it ;)
