A picture will appear in a sig if it is not too big (400 x 75 size limit) and it is entered correctly and you tick the checkbox "Apply signature: "

All image links here at Tom's start with capitalized letters IMG surrounded by brackets and end with /IMG surrounded by brackets.

Edit:

I've heard there is a "weight limit" (size in KB) on sigs and avatars but I don't know what it is. It's there to keep people like me from entering a full-length movie as an animated gif.

thanks a lot for the help, the size of the file is tiny - I should be Ok from here, I will check the size and the brackets etc, thanks again

The file info at the link you now have showing puts it at:

Filename: unleduecf.png
Size: 239Kb
Resolution: 640 x 66

So it's too big.

Almost there... take out the some website[/IMG]

Click the nearly greyed-out words "BBcode" that appear at the top of each reply here and see the code I used to put the following sample here... It works the same way for a sig.

well not as sig anyway

I've seen some recent post concerning problems with this site. There are a few things apparently not working right now, such as most of the right column and maybe the sig system is down too. I tried it out yesterday and it worked for me but then other people are having a terrible time with a few features here that aren't giving me any trouble at all.

I'd say to keep trying every day and don't lose hope, it may not be a problem on your end.

Gif files are fine, I use one in my avatar. Most popular picture files work, but I'm not sure of Psd files.

thanks again i will persist

i also noticed i was having probs with some other functions here ~ maybe same gremlins

thanks for your help

See my response in your other thread here.

You had it formatted right in that thread. I even verified it by using my test account.
