Thank you! And thanks for the tips!
One question, is there a post in this thread that explains how to make
a signature picture with the link in it?
Loving all of the avatars!
I've maxed out the sig links to four. You really can't go more than that without losing resolution of your linking images. Each image in my sig
line is 150 x 50. If you want one image in your sig line, it needs to be 600 x 70, but that doesn't allow for any text. (It eats up the whole
space.) We keep them 50 tall so we can add a line of text or two. So 600 x 50 is ideal. If you want two images in your sig line, the images are 300
x 50. If you want three images in you sig line, the size is 200 x 50.
Yes, there are posts back in the thread that determined this, but I'll bump it forward. You simply ask for an image sized to the dimensions you want
for sig linking, given the above parameters, and it's based upon how many images you want to link to threads in your sig line.
That Furry Texan has made all my sig links, and I just change the code to point in the right direction. For example, the monthly Writing Contest
thread changes every month, so I just change the 6 digit number for the thread in my code, and everything stays up to date.
Here's the coding I use. It all fits into my sig space in the profile settings: (Four images, four links.)

To link a single image, this is the code:

Notice the bold thread number. That's what you want to change. Replace it with the thread number you want to link to. Notice the bold image
number. Of course, change that to the image have in your upload folder. THE ONLY parameters you have to change is those two numbers, the thread, and
image, that you want to use. Honest.
As always, remove the spaces for the code to work.....Hope that helps.
