I can't get a picture to appear in my signature. What do I need to do?

You'll need to upload the pic to a host somewhere on the web first. www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.com are some free hosts.

Then, in the sig section of your profile, use the code: [img]link to pic[/img]

Thanks for the host sites!

I tried what you said to do, but when I preview the signature, where the image should be there's just a link to the picture. How do you get the actual picture to show up?

Use the [IMG] tag: [IMG]PictureLink[/IMG]

I did use the tags.

When using either of those sites to host a pic, all you should have to do once you have uploaded your pic is to just copy and paste the link they provide that already has the [IMG] tags where they need to be.

For ImageShack , it should be the 1st link (of the 5 they provide) that has “Hotlink for forums (1)” out beside it.

You can quote my post to see what the link looks like from ImageShack for this pic.



For Photobucket, it’s the third link down below the pic you upload.



Hope that helps. If it doesn't and that's what you were already doing, then I haven't got a clue why your images won't show up.

Thanks so much! It worked that time (as you can see now)!

Just testing to see if I did the link right.
