It doesn't appear that Sal has any immediate plans to bring back the avatar option. So I elected to put my Darth Vader pic in the signature. You have to use a Photo Host to do that. Here's one that's free.

That's a good site too, beacuse they optimize the photos and alter the JPG compression for small file size, which is important with signature pictures. Mine only came out to 4k which is less than probably the page itself.

You might want to resize that slightly say 325xwhatever, it would get annoying if everyone's signatures were huge like that one

Although it is a beautiful picture lol

First resize your picture in your photo shop and save it in "Your Pictures" Sign up at the free Image Cave. Click on the button that says browse. That brings up your pictures. Click on your pic. It will give you an Http location. Copy that address. Back at your signature you'll see a little image pic of a mountain. click on that. A window comes up and says http: you copy and paste your address from the image cave and its done. Sounds complicated but it's not. Try it as you can't hurt anything. If it's to big like PJ's redo it.:)

You're clicking on the "UserCP"? "edit Signature" should be on the left of the screen. Did you pay your Dues?:p
