Maximum size is 120 x 120 pixels
Maximum file size is 49.00Kib

Use this web link to reduce the size of your image to within the above limits (I found there was a lot of trial and error involved :wink: ):

On this note.. how do you upload a pic to the sig?

 

[Marlon]

Click on your name (top right)
Select 'user control panel'
Select 'profile tab'
Select 'edit signature'
Then link to the image you want in your sig and add your text
Then submit

Note: there is a 255 character limit and also a file size limit for your signature image (600 x 150 pixels)

Thanks Marlon,

I'm slightly confused about the "link to the image" bit, do I need to have a link to photobucket or something similar?

 

[elevensies]

iv just looked at that too, yes it seems like you need a image host to link into it

Yes - you need to 'host' your image on a site like photobucket or postimage.org and link to it like this:

Photobucket has a limit on the number of times an image file can be accessed for "free" accounts. If you have a subscription account then there is no issue.. might be the reason?

Otherwise it might just be a caching issue, especially if you've moved the file.
