1: Upload image to a hosting site such as Photobucket.
2: Copy the URL for the image in the lower URL box on Photobucket
3: Paste this URL into your signature section on this sites user profile area.

Done.

You need to host the pic somewhere like photobucket then insert a link to the image.
If thats too much hassle then PM me for my email address and i'll stick it on my webspace for you and send you the link

Don't forget you need to shrink the photo down to a sensible size first, unless you use Fotopic which allows you to specify the size in the URL.

Nice indeed. Shame I couldn't afford one if I sold the Skoda

Anyhow, I've just added a picci myself. Struggled at first though but then worked out that I needed the 'img in brackets' bit before and after. This is a first for me after 7 years and four cars on this site

Under each photo in Photobucket, there are a few lines of code. One of them should be the "IMG Code".

If you click what is written in the box next to that, it should say "Copied". Then just paste that line of code into your message and a photo will (should!) appear.

it works...

You can resize the pics before you upload them.

There is an option that shows something like...

"max image size: 320 x 240 (options)"

...on the upload section of Photobucket. Click on "options" then select either "320 x 240" or "640 x 480", they are generally popular sizes for message boards.

Hope this helps
