well no offense but you have to be a bit specific on what you want lolk

 

about your sig -

 

1. click on the link on your name , above the 'sign out' and 'help' links that are undelined in white (top right hand corner) .

 

2. Click on 'my profile'

 

3. should see 'edit my profile ' on top right corner, underneath 'view new content' with the RSS feed icon (orange block with white lines)

 

4. click on 'edit my profile' and choose 'change signature' on the left

 

5. To the left of the white envelope and to the right of the paperclip with the green circle on the bottom right hand corner, there should be an icon what look like a photo. hover your mouse over ir and you should see 'insert image' click on it and you get a box asking for 'image URL'

 

6. click 'Insert image' and you should see something like [*IMG] (image url + PNG/JPEG/BMP or otherwise extenstion)[*/IMG] (minus the

asterik)

 

7. Click 'Save changes '

 

8. And you should be set. As off yet there is no limit on image size/image content but please nothing promting porn warez etc or any sig that takes up half the page!

 

9. By default the img is on the left. Look to the right of the box and you see 3 colomuns of what seem to be a bunch of lines click and you get [*left] [*/left] [*center] [*/center] [*right] [*/right] (minus the asterik). you can use these to put the pic where you want. e.g

 

 

 

 

 

(lol im not sure how to create tables using phBB code)

 

to change location, just wrap the location around the img code

 

i.e [*right] [*img] (url) [*/img] [*/right] or [*center] [*img] (url) [*/img] [*/center]

 

(just remove the asteriks)

 

10. You can also make your pic a 'hotlink' ie click on the pic and you get redirected to a new address in a new tab/window

 

so for example click on

 

 

 

and you get my lastfm page ! to do this click on the paper clip and insert the desired URL in the URL box (the top one ) under link text you need to add the pic BUT with the [*img] [*/img] code

 

i.e [*/img] (your image url ) [*/img]

 

so what you should get is

 

[*url=the website you want ][*img] (the picture) [*/img] [*/url]

 

Again do not link to porn warez or otherwise!

 

 

 

 

And that should be it Any problems state here
