This a reprint of a thread I put in the general forum a while back.

The first part is bullet proof. The second part assumes you know something about picture sharing sites. I avoid picture sharing sites as I have not found them to be as reliable as Edge Gamers Servers.

Click on:

My Account
Pictures and Albums
Add Album

Title: signatures
public
submit
Upload Pictures
Browse

Select your picture {small files work best mine is 447 pixels by 167 high. Large pictures give the thread pages scroll bars and you can't see the whole thing. You can add text with powerpoint or whatever and do a screen dump. Then crop and resize the picture with a photo editor.]
Upload pictures
Save Changes

Double Click the picture.
Select the second line of text (BB Code)
Right click
Copy
Click on the down arrow to the right of My Account
Edit Signature
In the text box right click and paste.
Save Signature

You don't need to create an album. You can use a non ego file storer and use the link from that but they are not 100% reliable. If you use an edgegamers album if the website is up, so is your picture.
As an added bonus you now know how to create an album in your profile. :laugh:

Or

  1. Upload a pic to an outside hosting site like: www.imageshack.us or www.tinypic.com then copy the URL for the image (should end in .gif, .png, .jpeg ect.)





  2. page_red.png
    Edit Signature


  3. Click on this icon:
    insertimage.gif



  4. And paste the URL for the image you uploaded then just click "OK" and "Save Signature"




Done and you're welcome.

Here's Byakuya's method using an offsite file server.

Kudos to Duality and Byakuya.
