So I realized that a couple of people have started to have pictures in their signature, and I was wondering if you could teach me (yes, I'm a forum newb)how to make/ put one into my sig.
Thanks for the help!

Same here. I have a picture sig ready but I don't know how to use it. But actually, the picture sigs get annoying. I like text better!

EDIT: It seems to work http://wiiliketopodcast.com/forum/games/whats_your_wii_fitness_age <----- there and not on this page. It also seems like it only shows up if you start a new topic.

After looking at the source code for this page http://wiiliketopodcast.com/forum/general_discussion/irc_channel I have come to the conclusion that:

1. When editing you signature you need to paste <-img src=""-> (remove the dashes)

2. Upload the picture you want in somewhere like http://imageshack.us/.

3. Copy and past the link at the bottom of the Image Shack page in between the quotes of the code.

Example: <-img src="http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/9001/testan3.png"-> (except without dashes)

Copy and past that into your signature thingy and you will have the same image I have.

Voilá. Hope that makes sense

yep, quite right awahl, also pictures will only appear in the first post if they are too big, make them small if you want them in other posts. Also if you want to make the picture a link then do.

<-a href="http://www.youtube.com"-><-img src="http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/9001/testan3.png"-><-/a->

Then without the dashes, that would link to my youtube page.
If anyone wants to know more about HTML then Pm me or go to this website cos it's where i leaned from.

firstly, i'd like to ask, why does everyone's sig link to imageshack.us?
Why not write the html yourself???

I'm letting out all the frustration from the SSBB tournament out here! Duksandfish, people think it's easier to do it the other way. I don;t fell like writing me own stupid HTML coding. I'm sorry if I seem harsh but I really am bummed about the SSBB tournament!

You can make text that appears when somebody hovers over your image like this:

<-a target='_blank' title='HOVER TEXT' href='LINK TO PAGE'-><-img src='LINK TO IMAGE' border='0'/-><-/a->

No Dashes
go to http://www.wiiliketopodcast.com/forum/general_discussion/100th_topic
and hover over my image as an example.
