Help - where am I going wrong. :thumbsup:

I followed Scarlett's very clear signature tutorial using Cool Text and Photobucket, I copied the IMG link, pasted it in the text box as instructed, clicked on update signature but when I go to any of my posts all I can see is the link as I pasted it and not the signature.

This is the link I pasted in the text box.

IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a138/mopatop22/cooltext1300447.jpg[/IMG]

I'm very new to all this and haven't a clue what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you

secret angel
You do not have the entire image tag. There is a bracket ---> [
missing from the IMG] at the beginning of it.

You have IMG] You need [IMG]

You need to be sure to copy/paste the entire image link.

Try this first and then if you are still having a problem. Someone will try to help. OK :thumbsup:

Hi there secretangel, yes that signature image is a little too big. Sigs must be 500 pixels wide X 90 pixels high. Discussion Rules

OMG I loove it, secretangel!!!

:thumbsup:

But yes it is to big. It is: 656 x 120.
So it needs to be re-sized. Down to, as Pandy said: 500 x 90

O.K.

Let us know if you need help with that as well. :inlove:
