HOW TO ADD A SIGNATURE OR AVATAR:
1) Sign up to www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us/
2) Save the signature or avatar that you have found/created (for most users in Paint - save as a JPEG file for faster loading).
3) On Photobucket/ImageShack browse for the image and Upload it.
4) Hit the Profile button on these forums (or any other forums for that matter).
5) Go back to Photobucket/ImageShack, and select and copy the long line of text either for Photobucket - next to where it says Img (Photobucket)/Direct (ImageShack).
6) Go back to your Profile (in the forums) and do one (or both) of the following:
For your Avatar - Scroll down to the Personal Information category, and then the Avatar section, and then paste your link in to the box next to it (don't worry about your Custom Avatar Width and Custom Avatar Height yet).
For your Signature - Scroll down to the Personal Information category, and then the Avatar section, paste in the link, but in between the img tags, like this:
You can also center it, as well as use other codes. For example, if you want your Signature picture in the center, use the following.
7) For your Avatar; now look at the picture and see if its too squashed or not. If it isn't just leave it, if it is, keep on fiddling with the different number variations in the boxes next to the Custom Avatar Width and Custom Avatar Height until the image looks good, or simply find the Dimensions for each Picture under Details when the picture is selected in Windows XP and work it out easily from there.
