What is a signature?
This is a piece of text that you would like to be inserted at the end of all
your posts, a little like having headed note paper.
You will have the option to include your signature on any posts you make
(except in the News forums). If you have specified a signature, then the board
will automatically append your signature to any messages you post. You can
disable signatures on a per-post basis by un-ticking the 'Show Signature'
checkbox when you compose your message.
You may turn the signature on and off on posts you have already made by
editing the post and altering the state of the 'Show Signature' option.
You can set your signature by editing your profile:
1. Go to User CP
 2.
Click on Edit Profile
How do I get a picture in my signature?
To insert an image into your signature, you need to use a bit of code, but don't
worry, it's extremely simple; all you do is enclose the URL (address) of
your picture inside what is known as a "TAG" - in this case, the IMG tag.
In the Signature text box just type
[img] URL [/img] replacing URL
with the actual address of your picture, so you end up with something looking
like
[IMG]http://www.where-the-picture-is.com/picturename[/IMG]
If you want your picture to connect to somewhere else on the internet, then you
can make it into a clickable link by using a little bit of html code:
<a href="http://www.where-you-want-to
link-to.com"><img src="http://www.where-the-picture-is.com/filename"
border="0"></a>
All the above should be typed without pressing the Enter key and in using the
quote marks and symbols as shown.
Then click Submit Modifications and you will be taken to a page which
shows your new avatar. Note that this avatar will now show alongside every
message you have posted in the Chat Forums (avatars and signatures are not
displayed in the News forums which are intended for serious debate).
