Hello Dale,

To add a signature you upload the picture you want to use to a image hosting website e.g. photobucket then once it has uploaded you view you album on photobucket and underneath your newly uploaded picture you will have some lines saying different things, e.g. Email & IM, Direct Link, HTML code and IMG code From there you copy the IMG code bit and place that in the signature section on your profile.

Easy steps:

1. Choose a picture and upload to photobucket
2. Get the IMG code from photobucket
3. Place the IMG code in the signature section on your profile
4. Save changes and hopfully all work well


Im happy to awnser any question you wish to ask about this.

Dale see how your signature image has the segmented lines around it right now. That means that the forums have automatically scaled the image down to the proper size for signature banners.

The limit I believe is 400 pixels wide by 150 pixels tall, not 100% sure though. To get rid of the segmented lines around your image, reduce it's size so that the dimensions are less than 400 wide by 150 pixels tall. :wink:
