    Well if you're posting on here, the easiest way is to highlight the URL/address and click on this little symbol
    I can't show you how to do it properly here because computer says no.

    If you wanted a link to yahoo.com, like this: Click here to go to Yahoo!
    use this code:
    [url=http://www.yahoo.com]Click here to go to Yahoo![/url]

    The first tag should say URL not /URL
    you should also have the [url = "Webadress" } What you want the user to see [/url]
    The first '}' should be a ]

    HTML simply states

    < a href="web address" > What the browser will display </a >

    I would fix your sig for you, but the image http://www.ffcompendium.com/EspMon/omegaweapon10.jpg is too large for a signature image. Your signature needs to be no more than 250 pixels tall and that image alone is 290 pixels tall.

    If you simply want a link to the image, that's ok. Just use [url]http://www.ffcompendium.com/EspMon/omegaweapon10.jpg[/url]

    That's the link button, for an picture to come up you need to use the image button . Stick the URL of the pic you want in. Plus the link you have on your sig is broken, the pic is no longer on the site.

    I had the same problem, i'd type in the code for my picture and it would always come up as a link. Then i realised i'd typed in the url code not the image code. i'l try to tell you what you should do -

    If you've found a picture on photobucket.com click on the picture you want then click on it again you'll be taken to a menu of pictures by the host. Find your picture on there and under it there'll be 3 little boxes, go to the image box and write down the code. Then when you press the image icon in the signature menu in user cp type it in and it should work.

    I hope that made sense.

    Sorry for removing your sig just as you figured out how to do it, but the height limit is 250 pixels including any text that you are using and not just for the image alone. Your text put you over 300 pixels.

    If you're not sure about the sizes, show me what you want to use and I'll let you know if it fits the limits. But if you right click on an image and go to Properties you will find the height and width dimensions as well as the kb size. If your image alone is 250 pixels in height then any other text will put you over.
