Help! Can someone help fix my signature link?!

I've just spent ages trying to make a good signature to go with my new thread, and It's done.

Problem is the signature won't link properly

[Xurl=http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread435240/pg1][imgX]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/fooffstarr/yowiesig-3.jpg[/imgX][/urlX]



That's the code I'm using (Minus the X's. They are there to stop it showing up as an image). To my meager understanding, it should work.

The image shows up, but the link keeps replacing the '/pg1' of the link with an = sign... why is that?

Help me fix it please people!

Your first and perhaps biggest problem is this:

Avatar and Signature Guidelines

A maximum of five lines of text, with any graphic image counting as one line (only one image is allowed).

GIF and JPEF file formats for any image with a maximum dimension of 500 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall. File size is not to exceed 25k, and animated GIF's are allowed.

What your trying to put up is 550px × 90px and 45.37 KB (46456 bytes)

WAY too large

It should be removed from your signature in any event and edited to fall with the guidelines..

Ah. Bugger.

Take 2 then.

Don't close the thread yet, I'll be back with a revised version and will probably still need help.

OK it is now in the guidelines as far as I can tell.

Link is still broken when you try to click it though.

It comes to 6 vertical lines in the signature text box.

As for linking back, that was disabled sometime ago.

They may have restored that function, but my Sig Image used to link also, doesn't anymore.

I will alert this to the rest of the Staff and see what the Techies say

Ah OK thanks.

I spotted some picture sigs around today that seemed to work as links.

Kinglizard's for instance still works.

I will let you know as soon as I find out
