Well I did just try it with the image tags but it seems to just get rid of the tags and leaves the url there.

Edit I know how to make images in my posts

I've never liked sig images, all they do is take up space and waste bandwidth. Nothing I hate more then scrolling down a thread that is 90% sig pics and 5% information.

I don't mind if it's a small image but I've been to forums where some people's sig pic have taken up over 2 screens in height and that's just plain ridiculous.

Raven - are you reading this? As you post in practically every thread it would be nice if you could make your pic a bit smaller.

Making the image so it is bigger than the message you are posting is proberly not a good idea. It's not like people are even going to look at it more than once. If you have to have a big one at least put it on a different server to your avatar so people can block it with little effort but still see your avatar.

:: pretends to be someone else :: Raven's image is fine
:: makes another silly voice :: yeah i totally agree, Raven's sig is cool

Screw you guys, i'm keeping my sig hehee

the image tags work, but they're not 100% reliable - god knows why, bitch to the webmaster, he's hiding around here somewhere.
makes sure you spell the url right though and that its a http:// not an ftp://

[img ]http://www.mysite.com/piccy.jpg[ /img] for example should work, sometimes it'll show just the addy, particularly if you use urls in your actual post ... but generally should show find

That's a demon? Funny, looks more like a drunk, stoned, sick muskrat hit by a convoy. Oh well.

Try putting the href tag around it, if that doesn't work use html.
