A wee bit of help needed pls - Angus kindly made me up a pic for the bottom of my posts but I've put it into photobucket, pasted the URL across into my profile and it's not showing :(

What have I done wrong?

You need to put the correct HTML tags in front of and after the image details. So directly in front of the text for your pic in the 'Signature' box, put the start tag [img ] - That's square bracket i m g then close square bracket, all together - **WITHOUT** the space after the 'g' and after the text put in the tag [/img ] again WITHOUT the space after the 'g'...

Does that make sense to you?

You have to do the same to post images to the forums..
:cool:

Photobucket gives you all the img tags and brackets with your photo location in between.Saves you typing all the tags and brackets.
I think its the bottom box under your image just copy and paste the whole box.Dont use the url box it dont work use the img box.

Should be job done.

Hope this helps.

Neil.:D:D

Edit: copy and paste the link into your signature profile

E-mail me your url, or, post it in this thread and i'll give you what you need to paste it into you're signature profile.

Remember, photobucket does not use the "www" in the url's ;)

Once you've done that i'll delete the relevant posts
