Signature Guide
So you want to know how to make your signature look nice and flashy with pictures and links, but you don't know how? Read this guide and you'll be a pro in no time. Note: This guide can also be used for regular everyday posting. First, go to your , and click . Click the tab which is between and . Scroll down to where it says Signature. The white box directly below is where you'll be putting your pictures, and links. Pictures
Let's say you found a picture you like while browsing Google images, and you want to show it off in your signature. We'll use this image as an example: First, right click the image, then click "Copy Image Location". Now that the URL of that image is copied, go into your signature box, and type in This will make the image appear in your signature. Done! If you want to make your image aligned to the center, or right corner, type this in. Links
You want to add links to your signature, but don't want it to look ugly like this? www.kickstarter.com/profile/arcueidbrunestud/commentsHere's how you can change that. Just type this: If done correctly, it should look like this: Whatever you want to saySimple, no? If you want to have it aligned to the center, or right corner, the same steps apply. Refer to the Pictures guide above. Combining Pictures with Links
So now you know how to put pictures, and links into your signature. But did you know you could make your picture link to something too? Here's how to do it. Type: If you noticed, it's just the combination of the two things you've just learned. So let's say I wanted to make the SOTN image from earlier link to this forum. I would type:
Here's what you'll get if done correctly(Try clicking the image):
Secret: Randomized Signature Image Many of you might not know this, so I'll divulge something I've been using for quite some time now. How to randomize your signature! Or more precisely, how to make your signature's image change into another image randomly. It will change randomly whenever you refresh the page.
The key is this site: SignAvatar - Random Avatar and Signature Hosting
You create an account on that site, and add whatever image you'd like into your customized signature. As many as 500 can be used! After you're done, it will give you an URL for you to use. Use it like you would an image's url. My URL is signavatar.com/34740_s.gif. So if I do the image brackets... it'll show up here.
If you're curious, the characters that appear in this image are my favorite characters of all time(subject to change).
That's all folks. Have fun!
End of Guide If you're not using Windows, this guide might not work for you. Sorry!

Thank you very much, sir ! I was wondering how to put a picture in my signature, now I got my answer ! I hope it is not too big, just let me know. 350x200 is what the rules have always stated the maximum signature pic size should be. I think I'll relax that as I haven't enforced that rule once so far. Your signature is a bit large though.

Arcueid Brunestud - I wanted to put multiple images in my signature with one justified to the left and the other to the right. When I do this they align left and right but they stack. Is there a way to get them inline? *Edit - I asked ProBoards but it looks like it's not possible unless someone knows a hack. I also found you don't need closing tags for the locations such as "{right}" You can also simply link the image like this: {img src="http://image.com"} For instance, my signature image is: {right}I lost a bet {img src="http://thespot-cds.com/images/sombrero.jpg"}

Why not just make the two images one, with white/transparent filling in the middle? That should work relatively well.

That would work fine if I just wanted white space in between the images, but one is a gif and one is a jpeg. Apparently I'm just trying to make this do stuff it's not capable of. I know you could handle it with a script, but that's beyond what I am willing to go through I am really curious as to why people use closing tags when they are not necessary. ProBoards knows you don't need them. Maybe it's just a HTML discipline carry-over?

Yeah, I tried aligning the images side by side before but I couldn't get it to work. What a shame. As for closing tags, that's just a habit of mine from many years of message board browsing, haha. The transparency thing is a good idea, but you have to keep in mind that different screens view the forum differently when it comes to spacing. On a smart phone, your image might not align correctly with the signature's borders.

Yeah, it's not an ideal solution, but it's the only one I could think of.
Having a reasonable size and converting the entire thing into a .gif is your only way to go. Might be better to just give up on the idea though.
