needs photo bucket account. Once you find the pic you want, save it to your computer, open your photo bucket account, upload image from your computer, then copy and paste the image properties to your signature box in your profile. I'm not a computer geek, so I hope this is explained well enough.

I would add for anyone else that the way I added the link was by clicking on the picture in photobucket and selecting share media and then clicking on the links tab. Then click on the IMG Code. After that go to your signature profile and paste the IMG Code. Pretty easy once you do it once.

Well, since I havent used a lot of band width by posting 5 or 6 thousand posts, I figure I can make up for it by having an animated holiday greeting. ;D

Posting a link is actually saving space on the server it really only slows the members bandwidth as it is trying to upload the image. The only bandwidth that is being "eat up" is from members poor access to the internet. That is the reason when members upload a link to a picture it doesn't get deleted after thirty days like an actual upload to the forums server. ;)
