Uploading images, and adding a picture to your signature
Signature Pics are limited to 200 pixels high x 500 Pixels wide.
In User CP click edit signature
In the box for option 1 Enter the URL for an Imageshack (or other hosting service) picture in the box.
Click Save Signature
The picture should be visible with a Brown Font Insert Signature Picture next to it
Click Insert Signature Pic
In the text box [*SIGPIC][/*SIGPIC] will appear (Minus the astericks I had to put in here). Click the insert Image icon, delete the HTTP:// and paste in the URL for your hosted pic.
Click OK
The picture now shows up in the Text Box as well
Click Save Signature and all should work.
It's tricky, but when you choose Insert Signature Picture, you still have to enter the URL for the picture (assuming it's hosted).
Looks something like this:

Sometimes the sig still doesn't show in a particular thread. In the thread where the signature is missing go to one of your posts.
Choose edit
Go Advanced
Scroll down and select Show your Signature
Uploading Images, hosting and you
Hey everyone :D
With an eye toward the future, we have put some serious restrictions on images that can be uploaded to the site. If too many get uploaded over the years we will either have to purge them or buy more space.
I left the option open as a back up but everyone should try to get in the habit of hosting their images. All sorts of places will do it but a couple of good ones are.
www.imageshack.us <--free
www.photobucket.com <--also free but you have to register
The image in my sig is hosted and I made it big to make sure we could accommodate whatever we needed.
