First off I will tell you handy sites for this tutorial.

For finding sigs:
http://images.google.com [Just google up a sig you might want to use]
http://www.usersigs.com/site/ [User bars]
http://www.signaturebar.com/signatures/ [Random Signatures]
http://www.Deviantart.com/ [Great for finding but register and ask the person for verification if you can use it or not if no proper agreement has been made that you can use it your sig will be removed]
Or just make your own keep in mind it must not be too big or I will remove it.

For hosting your images.
http://imageshack.us [Most commonly used and for bigger images]
http://photobucket.com [Great for albums and smaller images]
http://tinypic.com [good for producing a smaller url but can distort your images]


Ok now.
To start this tutorial off I will start with the basic Image hosting and posting the images on the board.
Ok first off you have to have saved the image that you want to upload onto your computer.


Next you have to go to one of the image sites I have indicated and upload your picture onto its server.


Now choose the direct link the very bottom one of imageshack.


Next step to post if its a new topic then do this step if not then don't do this just skip to the next step. Go to the forum you want to do and find this image:

Click that image or w/e image it becomes for new topic. A new topic form should appear.

Now posting your image or images.
First things first enter your Topic title I don't think you need to see what that is. Then go down to to message part and post this:

Or click this button

to generate one img tag then post your direct link and then click that button again to close your img tag.

For a regular topic do the same thing but eather click this button:

Or use quick reply at the bottom of the page:


Post it and your done.

Now for the avatar.

Follow the step up to the direct link part when you copied that.
Now go to your edit profile link.


And then look for the setting near the bottom that says avatar.


Now important part.
DO NOT I repeat DO NOT insert img tags or it will not work.
Just post the direct link.


Now update and save your avatar.




Now for the sig:

Follow the step up to the direct link part when you copied that.
Now go to your edit profile link.


Now look for your signature column.


Now for the signature you DO put img tags in I repeat you DO put img tags in. Now post your direct link between the image tags.


Now save changes and enjoy your new signature.
