Why is it so difficult to change signatures?

The signatures are so picky when you want to add an image. All I get is this little blue question mark. It's annoying.

You need to use the picture url itself with the file extension at the end, not the link to the Imgur page it is displayed on:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YdlCNIv.png[/IMG]

That should be the code you're using. It gets you the below:

YdlCNIv.png


What you were using before was this:

[IMG]http://m.imgur.com/YdlCNIv[/IMG]

Notice how there's no file extension at the end of the URL? It's because that's the link to the Imgur page the picture is displayed on, not the picture itself. You can get the link to the picture itself by clicking on the picture on that page, though.

You need to have a direct link to the image and not just the imgur gallery link as Donavann said above. Assuming though it's the image you wanted, I went ahead and changed your signature to that and you should be all set now. :)

Thanks! I understand now.
