Putting a pic in your signature....

I tried to do that the other night and every time I typed in the URL for the photo I wanted to use and clicked "change profile" nothing happened. I put the URL in the box above and not in the signature box. My photo hosting site is working fine, but I don't know how to get any images to show up in the signature area.

Also, I have two video links there and only one is actually "linked" - it suddenly became that way a few days ago when I added the 2nd link, but I can't get the 2nd one to be a clickable link. HTML code doesn't seem to work, either. I still hand-code all my Ebay auctions so I do know how to get links to show up as such.

How do I solve these problems?

this board uses bbcode for links and media etc... HTML is filtered out for security purposes.

to make your link clickable, use "URL" in square brackets...
ie: will give you:
"Killer YAG"

---

or: will give you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOp4XQQKpOM - "Killer YAG"

---

to make images appear, use "IMG" in square brackets...
ie: will give you:

hey Schrecken_Licht, sorry for the delay i was traveling today

please try uploading it again now, it should work. i went to your profile and did the 'delete' option for the avatar and now everything should be fresh

if it still doesn't work please let me know

I got the pic and links working - but now my avatar is missing and I can't get it back. I tried both uploading it and putting in the off-site link. It's the same one I've always had - so it isn't too big. Any suggestions? Never had trouble with that before.

Are you checking the little check box that says "I will use my own avatar" (or something like that)?

let me know if it works now, i tried changing a setting
