You have to have the image (200x50 pixels) hosted on some Internet server.

Then go into your User CP area and add the link to your signature.

If you want to add a link, the code would look like this, minus the spaces in the code:


[ url=http://yourwebsite.com/][ img]http://homepage.mac.com/example/.Pictures/other/sig.jpg[/img][/url]

You can't hotlink to another website image. You have to have one of your own. Either on your website or with a free photo hosting site.

Also, you will need to make sure it conforms to the size requirements less the mods do a smackdown.

Do you have a webpage? or a place you can upload graphics too? You have to go into your preferences on the message forums, and under avatar you can paste the URL.

So if you uploaded a small picture of yourself (or a hot chick) to your http://homepages.mac.com/you/picture1.jpg

You could set that as the URL of your avatar and it would show up in your signature.

Also, the photo you are trying to hotlink to is 99x99. Unacceptable as it's twice as high as the allowed limit. If you read the forum details, you'll find that.

And this is certainly not the place to ask about this stuff. How is your forum sig iBook specific? Ask again in the Lounge.
