Super-n00b question (not really techy)

[MrPaul]

Hi all.
This may seem really stupid, but I don't get why my sig isn't working. I've put it in BB Tags ( [IMG ]URL HERE[/IMG ] minus the spaces) and it just doesn't work. I tried using the Insert Picture button, but again, it just ends up as a link. Could it be because I'm using msn groups as my host? (I doubt it.. but you never know)

Like I said, not really a tech question, just.. annoying.

Thanks.

PS. The link does go to my sig, so it's not a duff link...

Yeah, using MSN groups won't work. You need to find an image hoster. If you look at your link, it doesn't end with a .gif extension. The image tags will only work if you have such an extension, i.e.:

[IMG]www.something.com/image.gif[/IMG ]

It is because it is not being recognized as a picture.

Try this link: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQD!AtAUWNo2TM6aSeu!CJZK7A5L7cnTKt7Pae89t0MVxVLG4 PSdx28j8GfDaoYv8UWjV4DZ1swLQJbF8XFtwoRmsrHS6ZPJJn4 jTErVUyM/Untitled-1.gif

Edit: I used that link and it works, so there you go. It didn't have a .gif ending because of the way MSN does things. That will work for you.

Thanks dscytherulez and UncleDynamite, sorry to be a pain in the ass, but as soon as I got the sig working (the URL still didnt work for me, even when ending in a GIF) I was unhappy as there were bits all over it. If anyone knows anything about Adobe PS I'd be muchos grateful if you could help on this thread. Wow I'm really making myself look like the stereotypical n00b. I'll make up for it in later posts, honest...
