The first thing you need to do is go to the User CP and go to Settings & Options -> Edit Options in the column on the left. Scroll down to the Miscellaneous Options section at the bottom, and make sure your Message Editor Interface is set to Enhanced Interface - Full WYSISYG Editing. If it's already set to that, great! If not, set it, and click the Save Changes button.

After you make sure it's set to Full WYSIWYG, go to Setting & Options -> Edit Signature.

To add an image, use the [IMG][/IMG] tags. Type the URL to the image between them. Clicking the Preview button will convert that into an image in both the Preview section, and in the editor.

To make an image into a link, put your URL= and /URL tags around the [IMG][/IMG] tags. The forums LOVE to parse the URL tag, so don't forget that you need [ and ] around them, just like other tags. The start tag would be [ and then URL= and then the URL you wish to link, and ] after it. Then, the [IMG][/IMG] tags with the URL to your image, and then [ followed by /URL and a ] to close it. Man, that is SO convoluted to have to type like that.

To add color, simply select (or highlight, depending on the term you like... :P) the text you want to color. Then click on the big A with a black line under it and little down pointing arrow to the right of it. That's your Color Picker. Click the little square that is the color you want. Then, move your cursor off the text to unselect/unhighlight it, and you'll find it has a color!

You can also use that to add color to any links you post. So, instead of a link looking like City of Heroes Website, you can make it look like City of Heroes Website or even City of Heroes Website. :P

You ARE limited to a MAXIMUM of 5 lines, and anything that gets linewrapped to a new line WILL count as an additional line if it's long enough. For example, my sig counts as 5 lines, because the WarWitch quote is so long that it wraps to the next line, and almost wraps to a third line.

If the explanation of how to make an image into a link is still confusing, let me know, and I'll make a quick page and link to it.

Here's to pretty sigs!
