OK, So I want to use an image as my signature, but when I click paste to paste the photo in, nothing happens! I am certain my picture is 400 pixels wide, and 100 high. I don't know what is wrong! If someone could help me I would really appreciate it.
P.S. The image was made using Photoshop, but it is saved as a JPEG file.
Upload it to an image sharing site such as Photobucket. Then get the link and do this: [img]Your image link here[/img] You can't upload pictures from your computer directly to Bricks in Motion.
Perhaps it would be nice if you could provide a link to your picture.
OK, here is the link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacksonsul … 195458838/
Here, to do this type in:
[img]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4148/5195458838_f8fa90eb60.jpg[/img]But all you have to do it copy the code and paste it into your signature box in your profile.
Thanks! 
Oh, and another thing, you can link your signature so it leads to your YouTube when clicked on with this code:

Did you select the whole thing? There is a scroll bar you know.
Yes I did.

Ya! That works! THANKS GUYS!
I have been having some trouble with posting a sig. I uploaded it to Flickr, and I followed the instructions but it shows an error "X". Here is a link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/56482848@N05/5220774921/. Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
You can't use the link to the webpage with the picture on it, you need to get the direct link to the photo, which should end in a file extension such as .jpg or .png. I just looked at the FAQ for flickr and it says you can get that link by clicking "Share This" and then "Grab HTML." From the looks of it, it's rather arduous to search through that text for just the image code, but I think I've got it.
(Right-click and press "Copy Image URL", then place between [img]and[/img])
I wouldn't recommend flickr from the looks of how complicated it is to get the link. MajHost, BrickShelf, and Photobucket are much easier sites to obtain these URLs and are free.
though imgur.com is the easiest
Thanks everyone for the quick responses! I think I will switch to another image hosting site, which one do you suggest. Photobucket?
Majhost is super simple to use, and if you sign up there, you're automatically signed up for Brickshelf as well, since they're pretty much the same sites.
I'm trying to put an image to my signature, I have the link to the photo, but when I pasted it it said that the link was opened within the image and it was not allowed. How do I solve this problem?
