I have found an image that I would like to use in my sig. I know this site does not allow attachments. I have a personal group I can use to host the pic. I am having problemss with the vb code. I have added the" [img} [/img] ' to the beging and end of the web address of the pic. Is this the correct way to do it or can some point me in the right direction.

edit when I put the correct brackets around the vb text I get a ? in the post.

I put the text in the sig box

yup use the [img*][/img] tags. take out the *.

be sure that you are linking to an image, not a page. image= .jpg .gif .png.... and so on.

vb code works in sigs, so you should be good to go.

if the server your getting it from doesnt like hotlinking, get a photobucket account and host it there.

I don't know how I would make him guess...

All you do is right click the image, open it in a new window, and copy the url.

edit

no prob
