How do you get a picture into your signature?

[cacatman]

Hi there,
Wondering how you attach a photo in your signature.

See below for solution.

I've tried linking a small jpeg 28 kb only via Facebook, Flickr and Dropbox without success.

I tried manually linking as well as using the "attach" media link buttons.

Can anyone walk me through it?

This is what I'm getting when I preview it. Thanks in advance.

Instructions
Find an appropriate image which you want in your signature.
Go here and upload the picture to Free Image Hosting at FreeImageHosting.net - Upload & Share Images on Social Networks, Blogs, and Galleries
(You don't need an account and you can upload it anonymously)
The site will give you a link.
Copy the part of the link that looks like this (I've highlighted it in red)....
<a href="Viewing image n6Avf.jpg "><img src="http://sl.uploads.im/t/n6Avf.jpg" border="0" /></a>

Click on "edit signature" on O.F., paste link once clicking the "picture" button.

You need to get the url of the actual image. Try this one: https://img.purch.com/w/660/aHR0cDo...pZ2luYWwvaW5qZWN0aW9uLWFybS0xMTEwMDUtMDIuanBn

Click the picture icon and paste that into the dialog box. Then preview your signature. Just to see if it works. If it does, either you have the wrong url for your image or the site you are trying to link too does not allow you to link to the images.

I believe the actual code is [ img ] [ [/ img ]. You just put the url in that. But without the spaces.

Thanks, the problem was because the image hosting site I was using wasn't "pointing" properly to the image itself. I think that's what the problem was.

For anyone else wanting to do it, host your image file anonymously here.... Free Image Hosting at FreeImageHosting.net - Upload & Share Images on Social Networks, Blogs, and Galleries

I will update the instructions above to make it easier for others wishing to do the same.

Thanks especially to @Litos (who communicated to me via PM) and @Wesleypipesyo for all your help!

I am glad it worked. Sorry I couldn't help more. But I am just a popsicle.

I stole it from someone else. Keep paying it forward.
