I want to put a picture of my car with my signature. But I cant get it to work. It always says the picture is to big. I have it down to where you can barely tell what the car is. HELP PLEASE

By "signature", do you mean the "avatar" (where my picture of Captain Cave Man" is)? If so, yes, the pic's gotta be pretty small, but this area is provided to add a personal touch to your information header, not to show off your car.

The actual "signature" (where my bouncing T-Bird is) can be larger (bot not too large as EVERYBODY hates sig pics that are too big). To put a pic of your car here you need to add a bit of code to your personal preferences and you have to have your pic hosted somewhere. I'm on dialup right at the cottage now so I can't do screenshots and give you a play-by-play on how to do it (it would take an hour or so at 28.

, but perhaps another member can show you

Up top, click on > User CP

On the left, click > Edit Signature

Just above the editing window, click on the first icon (looks like a yellow envelope, it's actually a landscape), type or paste the URL of where on the Web you have your picture stored, for example "http://somewhere.com/mypics/whoopdeedoo.jpg" (no quotes).

The editing window should then show that URL, surrounded by "IMG" and "/IMG" tags, which will have square brackets around them.

If all goes well, your pic should show up under your messages.
