Need help with signatures

How do you get an image on your signature?

OK.  I'll assume you don't know how to post images to the site in general then.  I'll aslo assume you want to use your own photos, and not a photo that you found on Google.

• You need to have your pictures online somewhere, www.photobucket.com and www.trainboard.com/railimages among others give you free space to store pictures.
• You'll need to upload the pictures from your computer to that site after you create an account.  There will be FAQ/Instructions on each site to help you with this.
• .
• OK, you have created your account and have uploaded your pic to the site.  I know photobucket has a list of two or three code samples below the (full size) image,  They're HTML, BB Code, and maybe something else.
• Grab (Highlight it then hit CTRL+C to copy) the entirity of the text in the textbox next the the label BBCode.
• .
• Come back to the forums and paste (CTRL+V) that code into either a message response box (like when guys are giving diagrams, Layout ideas, or showing off some of their work in a Weekend Photo Fun or something).  If you paste that same code into the SIGNATURE box on your "Edit Profile" page, the picture will show up in the signature area.  It's a good idea to use a smaller picture for this.

This code  [*img]http://www.trainboard.com/railimages/data/500/Trains_038.jpg[/img*] produces this image when the * are taken out of the IMG tags.  If I went into my "Edit Profile" page and pasted the above code into the "Signature" box, the pic would show up in my signature instead.

Sorry, but I don't get what you mean.

write it as if you were putting an image in a post - ie the [ img ] and [ /img ] (spaces used so the  tags aren't interpereted as such)
