:( I am trying to get a picture into my sig. I have searched and found out the principle behind this before posting for help.

I need to host the picture on a website or something then put the address to get to the picture between things saying img inside these thingies [ & ]

I just about get this. However I have spent the last hour trying to figure out how the frig I get a picture onto the web? All the sites I go to seem to want to charge me to do this :( Do I really need to pay (if so I won't bother)

I know there are IT people here so can anyone help as I'm getting fed up now :mad:

The pic should be attached by the way if anyone is feeling perticularly generous (bored) and can host it somewhere for me??

:) :) :)

I done it! All by myself too :) :)

IT may be hard but figuring out how to do something after several hours, having started off knowing absolutley nothing, is rather satisfying :)

Right, which of you IT lot is gonna offer me a job then :rolleyes: ;)

I'm rather chuffed at having sorted this out in case I haven't made that clear :D

How to get a pic in my signature. It took me ages to figure out how to do it as you can't post it the same way as you do on a thread :o

Probably dead simple to most other people but I was quite chuffed at figuring it out.

Don't tell me I'm the only one who can see the picture in my sig??

BTW am I the only one that has noticed how dodgy the title of this thread reads?

Why is it so hard? :eek: I am a pillock sometimes aren't I :rolleyes:

Didn’t you have to do this to get the little bouncy man in your sig Erebos? Anyway, this is how I solved my IT problem:

Join www.imagestation.com then you can up load any picture you want. Takes about 3-4 minutes to fill out all the relevant forms.

Once you have uploaded the picture then you can right click on it and select properties. You will see a URL address for your picture.

Copy or write down the URL address and bung it between [.img.] (without the dots) and [./img.] (without the dots) and put that lot where ever you want in you sig, by going into the User cp menu.

Easy init, only took me 2 or 3 hours :( :o

BTW thanks AshT_200, just glad that picture is not from closer up so you can't see my car's 'freckles' :rolleyes: ;)

oh, yes thats how to put piccies in there, I just wondered where you were hosting them (without costing anything).

I remember reading a thread on imagestation a bit back, now you mention it:rolleyes:

Sorry, my short term memory aint what it used to be....well, what I can remember of it, my long term memory is shot at too:D

Dai boy, you need to host the picture somewhere so that it has a URL address. If you e-mail it to me I will post it on my imagestation account for you if you want :) and then tell you the URL so you can put it in your sig :)
