Question: How do I post a picture on my signature?

[Volcanix769]

I've seen many people who have pictures on their signatures, and when I try to post links of my actual drawings of my deviantART account, they just end up as links or broken links when I put [img] http://fav.me/d59nl4y [/img](without spaces). So how do I tend to do it? Because I really want a picture of my drawing posted on my signature. And how I do I put actual links as text instead of just doing " http://deviantart.com " if I just do "My dA" with it being hyperlinked?

Why not just save the picture to your computer and upload it from there.

I just don't know if it can work. o-o If I would, it might come out as an attachment or something.

It should work as long as it is not too large. Just save picture as and place it in your pictures and then upload it from there.

Try uploading it to Imgur instead of using fav.me. You need a url that's a direct url to an image, not a page that shows the image, which is probably your problem because your code is correct.

Or for each image right-click and click the option of copying the image url, that might also work but some place won't let you hotlink like that.

1. Save photo to computer.
2. Upload it to: http://imageshack.us/
3. Copy and paste the URL it comes up with.
4. Do the [img] code and put the link in between.

^ It need not be imageshack, it can be just any regular image from Google etc. Just right-click on the image, select 'Copy image URL', go back to PC and click the icon that has a mountain and a moon on it and paste the URL. Done. :)

Try using Photobucket that's what i use and it always works. They have the links so you can copy paste them hover over your picture and the links should ne right under then pick one (preferably the IMG one) it might also be because it needs to be all caps [IMG] [/IMG]

Thank you, one and all. As Volcanix769 now has a lovely picture in his sig, I think the case - and this thread - can well and truly be closed.
