hi, how do i get a picture of my car in my signature box, i tried it and it says it has to be less the 6K, what this Avatar thing???

cheers Paul

You do it the same way as posting a pic in a thread ie host it on something like photobucket and paste the [img] link in the signature box of your profile.

Just make sure the pic is not tooooo big as it will be on every post you make.

As its only a link to a hosted image the actual image can be any size.

Your Avatar (the small pic on the left when you post) is not hosted elsewhere but uploaded to the forum server so there is a size limit on that

(well thats how I remember ot anyway

instructions for hosting pics HERE

Thanks very much I'll have another go tomorrow.

i have gone through the process now to see if it has worked

ok si ive done it wrong could someone tell me why its posted the link and not the pic's

You need to embrace it with IMG tags like this:

[img]http://s1045.photobucket.com/albums/b45 ... amp006.jpg[/img]

Photobucket does this for you if you select the IMG code option

Thanks Titan ...still not sure why my photobucket links highlighted but on the plus side it's the first time you guys have seen mt ///m ...i think

///mmmmmm very nice


Your signature picture needs to be embedded in tags and also smaller
"Please ensure any hyperlinked images are no more than 120 pixels high and 550 pixels wide"

Hi ELT, i had the same problem, use the IMG code and not the http code, also i had to reduce the size of my photo to 20% before sending it to photobucket, hope this helps as i am new to this but it worked for me!

regards Paul
