Are you trying to link to an image from your hard drive, or an image on the internet.

You first off need to upload your image to a photohosting site (I use http://www.photobucket.com), then link to it in your sig

Code: Select all: [img]image.site.com/your/image/location.jpg[/img]

Also make sure that the picture is within the set limits for the boards. Just select the properties of the picture that you are using and be sure that it fits the dimensions.

Then that would explain it. You must first upload it to an image hosting site, such as http://www.photobucket.com. Once it's been uploaded you can then link to it by use of the img tags in the example above.
