I've searched these forums and have found information on how to put images in my signature, and make them links and such...

but they don't ever work for me...

not sure if anyone can help, just ranting

What exactly do you do? Tell us what you put in the sig box.

Use the following code to do a sig image with a link.

Replace the { and } with [ and ] (can't use the 'real syntax' since the forum will just display the result rather than the code)

Quote: "

{href=URL to link to here; no quotes etc}{img}Image URL here;no quotes etc{/img}{/href}


"


Example with URLs filled in (remember to replace { and } with [ and ])

Quote: "


{href=http://www.ombsoft.com/blog}{img=http://www.ombsoft.com/sig.png{/img}{/href}

"

Well, the link is ok but the image doesn't show.

If I cut and paste the url into a blank browser window it does show but right clicking the image gives a different address, so the server is doing some clever redirecting, probably to stop hotlinking images.

Right, couple of tests below;

Below is your url which probably wont show;



Next is redirected url which may show;



[EDIT] Yep, bottom url appears to work, so use that in your sig instead = http://sledgez.serveftp.com:8888/geekuniv/media/signature.png

Boo!
