You were close! In your profile, wrap the HTTP... stuff with image tags like this:

[ image ]http://www.tractorbynet.com/forumfiles/18-32460-1250sig.gif [ /image ]
should wind up looking like this:

Just remove the spaces around the word image; I put those in so you could see what to do /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Thanks Mark,
I knew that it had to be simple, but we with simple minds have to hard time.

One more tip, if you preview your post before submitting it you can see any problems and not have to share them with the rest of us. Believe me, I use that feature a LOT!

And yes, nice looking image /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Jerry -

I have noticed many things in life that are sooooooo simple -- once you know how. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

You're all done now (and looks great, by the way), but I would still encourage people to make use of the nifty "Preview" feature when testing out signatures and stuff. You can play all you want without actually posting a message. Gives you a little more privacy. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

 

[markcg2000]

Oh yeah! I think I average two previews per post /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif!


... and I still mess up /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Jerry: Nice looking sig block. I like the script lettering.

Harv:
Is creating a signature block still a two-postings process even with preview? That is you've got to make one post with your sig block attachment before you can know what the file name is to go in and modify your profile and THEN you can preview your sig block on the next post, right (???). Or is there a "one step" way (i.e. another way to upload a sig file) - or is that what you meant by "silent upload".

My mistake was that I then went back and tried to "clean up after myself" by deleting the post that I used to upload my sig file.

<font color=blue>is that what you meant by "silent upload"</font color=blue>

Yep, you deciphered me correctly. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

The only way to do "silent uploads" at the moment is to upload your image to another server (not TBN) and reference that one from your profile. Of course, that requires that you have space available to you on another server and you know how to upload files there. That is, in fact, what I do.

For all practical purposes, using the attachment post is the best way to go.
