Oh, sigs? you can easily make one in paint or photoshop; then you host the image on a site and use the code generated to put it in your signature ^^

Huh? Not very clear instructions to a newbie! I don't get what you're saying either.

For example: if you want to use a pic of your fid and add text: open a pic of fid in paint; add text in that application, save item, go to like, imageshack.com, host it.;(upload) use the code they provide for forums, etc.. :(

Sorry, I'm a techie apprentice. What I say isn't the most understandable :/

Don't worry......I used to run corporate software yet didn't even know how to create an avatar!......>o......In the upper portion of our web pages (what your viewing now), are two shaded blue stripes. In the thinner stripe to the left you'll see "User CP" which stands for "user control panel". Click on the User CP and you'd should find all the fancy controls some members seem to fool around with on a daily basis. .. In the column to your left you'll find several neat little topics such as; .. "Edit your avatar" or "Edit your signature" ...etc. .. You can click on either of those two to create your avatar (upper left Goofy photo), or your signature (lower left B.B. photo and whatever else you may want to ad). ... Click on the "browse" button to choose your photo from either your computers desktop, or you can upload from a photo hosting website such as Photobucket. ... Once you choose (sometimes by double clicking a photo in your browse window), you can then click the little "upload" button. ..Be patient..some computers might take a whole whopping 20 seconds to download the photo. ... Once it appears, click on the "Save images" at the bottom of your screen. ..... Let us know if you still have trouble. Hope this helps!

Of course...You do not have to add a photo unless you want to!.....8o

One request, please. Keep photos in signatures small.

Reason being that it takes time for photos to open on the Internet and not everyone has a high speed connection.
