With just a few simple steps you can automatically display a custom signature under all your posts here on forums. If you don't have a signature there are lots of talented sig artists that can be found here and many do stellar work for nominal fees. With many new friends joining the forums I thought it would be helpful.
--To start of course you need a forum account lol
Also going to need your custom sig. Most of the time the commissioned artist will post it on his/her shop thread or they can also pm the image for you to save to your device or send you a url code to use. Simply right click the image and "save as". Just be sure to keep tabs on where you saved the image for easy retrieval later.
Once logged in locate the FORUM ACTIONS tab 2nd row tool bar top center. Left click and select EDIT PROFILE.
At this point you should be in the profile editor. To the left is the MY SETTINGS section.

--Down below the text entry area you will see 2 options to "upload signature picture".
If you saved your sig file select option 2 to UPLOAD IMAGE FROM YOUR COMPUTER by clicking "browse". You will be prompted to select your sig from the storage on your device or comp. Select the image file and upload.
If your sig artist gave you a url you can select the first option and enter the url code here.

--At this point you should have the sig code displaying in your text box. Looking something like this but with the corresponding bracket replacing the parenthesis in coding. (SIGPIC)(/SIGPIC). You can select "preview post" to see it. If happy click SAVE SIGNATURE and you've got yourself a siggy. Some people prefer to have their sig centered under their posts. Add the center code before and after like so...(center)(SIGPIC)(/SIGPIC)(/center)
