ok guys im very interested in knowing how or just how to do what some members seem to do here , they put a new thread up and it always has a pic like i realy love the pic of the crocodile on some ones post everytime they post
but how do they get that there im aware its something obviously to do with photobucket or any other programme used, i use photobucket but once the thread is done like the pic put in how do they get it to turn up everytime surely they dont go into photobucket every time they make a new thread, andyes i am bloody blonde so if thats a stupid question then so be it lol.

any tips would be greatly appreciated. cheers guys

Do you mean like the crocodile down there?

If so, then you need to have a photo on the internet some where and then you use simple code to put it in your signature which can be edited through your control panel. If you look up the top you will see "User CP". It is in there where you can play with your signature.

I think he's posting pictures of your crocodile to compensate for the lack of his own...

Go here and create a user name. Then you can upload to our own online photo album easily. You then need the web address from the photos you upload to put in to your sig.

Actually, I just had a look at the user CP. You can upload directly from your computer. Select your picture using the browse button. Once you hvae done that then click preview signature. It will open the web page again with the image you picked down near the browse link. Click "insert signature picture" then click save sig.
