You know - I haven't tried to do that but I would guess that you would just use the image command and the url of the picture you want in your sig line.

i.e. (img)http://whatever(/img) but use the square brackets instead of the parenthesis.

i tried that and all it did was post the link of my pic...

You have to use HTML.

 

[sweetvee]

how do i do that?

imgsrc="link here" i think... its been awhile since i've had one in my sig line

 

[Dillinger]

If its regular html then its

(img src="http://whatever) - replace the parenthesis with the angled brackets over the comma and the period

img src="http://www.urlofpic.com"

Enclose it with < >

 

[sweetvee]

Sorry, I was taking a nap when you posted.

The reason your picture only shows up sometimes, is because the site it is on is either hotlink protected, or too slow for the BB to display the picture every time. When I copied the URL and went directly to the picture, it loaded it into my temporary internet files and it now shows up. If it doesn't get displayed often enough, it has to be reloaded from the net and won't show until I refresh it by loading it directly.

I haven't tried it, but I think if you attach that picture to a post, you can use the img src= command to call the atachhment.php to disply it more reliably.
