Adding Images to your Signature
This is a common question on the forums, so I made a picture guide to help some of you out that may not be familiar with uploading images.
Step 1: Click on "my account" to the right under your forum user navigation
Step 2: Click on the edit button of your forum account
Step 3: Scroll down to "Signature Settings" and click on the little box that says "image" when you hover over it
Alternatively, you can drag a picture you see from another website into the white space below and the image will automatically appear. I have confirmed this with FireFox, I am unsure about other browsers.
Step 4: In image properties, copy and paste the URL* of the image into the box indicated, then click okay.
*Don't know what the URL for a picture is? If it's a picture on your desktop, you first need to upload it. There are many places you can upload your pictures, such as imgur, photobucket, and tinypic. I personally use and recommend imgur. Once you upload your picture, copy the URL/direct link of the picture and paste it into the box as shown. If it's a picture already online, right click and open the image in a new tab or click to "copy the image location". The options will vary based on your browser.
You can now see your image in the signature box! Just remember to click "save" at the bottom of the page afterwards. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Hehe nice guide inculding a very good explaination . People can look at your guide and taadaaa they know what to do .
I find that Tinypic is easiest, but okay. Great guide, by the way! If I hadn't already known what to do, I would've just learned. Simple, but clear. =)
And I'm so glad that people like you are willing to help others who are struggling. This is what makes the world go 'round.
Excellent guide! There are still many who do not know how to edit their signatures.
Please feel free to use my tutorial as well. It is a guided step by step tutorial on how to upload images to Tinypic.com, a free media uploading website. From there, users will be able to upload any of their personal artwork, photographs, screenshots, etc to gain access to the URL code needed.

Thanks the helped a lot!
can you do a forum topic on how to the upload (gifs/short video clips/motion pictures) that everyone seems to have?
Hey
so every time I try this it does this ... yep.
I have a problem with the end of step 4 (click OK). The button is clickable, but it won't change anything. Dte dialogue indow stays open, and the image doesn't appear.
P. S. Trying to past in image from an email.
Problem solved: I simply needed to use another browser.
I tried to insert an image but it wouldn't appear in the body? Like idk if it's even there?
Okay my bad I put in the html format. I wish I could just straight up edit this in html format? Cause that would be so easy??
And now my signature is gone??? sigh

Thanks, I'm glad you think it would be helpful. The only reason why I recommend imgur is because you do not need an account to upload to it, and the site is cleaner and free of ads.
