Lighting Alchemist, welcome to the discussion forums!!
For many many useful info on posting on our board, including info about signature and avatar, please check out this
awsome posting guide for our board(Actually, it's a MUST READ for all newcomers.

)
Instead of e-mailing you, I can post here "how to put the sig pic", so that others who might not know can also learn how.
If you have any more quesions, please feel free to post here and ask us!!
How to put the sig pic:1. If you already have sig pic you like on your compuer, that's good.
If you don't have, and you like one custom-made for you by some of our talented members of our board, you can post and ask on some of our "sig-shop" threads, such as this
Nil-chan's sig art thread,
Cels-san's sig shop thread, and others in
Fanworks forum of our board.

2. If you see the sig pic somewhere, and want to use it as your sig, make sure it's ok with the creator of the sig, & also credit the creator of the sig (if the creator is known,) and make sure to SAVE it on your computer. (Please avoid HOTLINKING, as this could lead to many problems.)
Also, please make sure it's within the max size for our board (500 pix wide x 300 pix high.)
3. Then, upload it to YOUR OWN online album account, such as
PhotoBucket (it's FREE, but need to register,) or upload it to other image hosting sites such as
ImageShack (no need to register) to get the URL of the sig pic.
4. THEN, log on to this board, click on
My Controls on upper right side of this page, then click on
Edit Signature under
Personal Profile on the left side of the page.
5. Once you get to the sig editing window, click on the
small symbol that looks like a tree ("
Insert Image" function), then copy and paste the URL of the sig pic in the blank space, then click
ok.
6. Also, if you like, do some more editing of your sig, such as, adding a comment saying "Thank you xxx for creating my sig!!" etc., then click on
Update my Signature, and your sig should show up!!
