    Question Creating a signature with an image link

    Hi all,

    I've just published my new website, paintedworlds.gallery, and I want to add a link to it in my signature, where someone is able to click on my logo, and be taken to the website.

    I've done some research, and seen elsewhere on the forums that signatures use bbcode. That should follow this format (minus the asterisks):

    [url*=link to website][img*]link to logo[/img][/url]

    Therefore I've tried the following codes (minus the asterisks):

    [url*=http://www.paintedworlds.gallery/][img*]http://www.paintedworlds.gallery/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Logo-2-1.png[/img][/url]
    [url*=http://www.paintedworlds.gallery/][img*]https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8037/29223273464_7916f6e82b_m.jpg[/img][/url]

    These codes work in text, but not in the signature.

    Can anyone help me out here?

    Cheers,
    THW

    Well, the first one definitely won't work because there's a size limit for images in the signature.

    In any case, I think you have to store the signature image on the board. Below the Edit Signature panel is a Signature Picture panel. Upload the pic there and include it in your sig with the tags [SIGPIC]link[/SIGPIC].
