    you go to hosts such as:
    Villagephotos
    IOwnJoo
    PhotoBucket

    you sign up for an account, log in....upload the picture, and they'll give you a url link for the image, you copy, and paste it and use the [​IMG]

    500px on forum :D . A too wide signature will stretch the forums.

    Well..damn. They pretty much covered it all for you. Just remember, when linking to an image..dont use the preview URL as that wont work. The site you are linking from will give you an exact link to use for signatures etc.

    txt files are not images thats why. They are documents/txt files. You need to upload an image (JPG, JPEG, GIF etc) to a site like http://www.villagephotos.com if you wish to use any images in your signatures.

    Angelfire doesnt like direct linking.
