Using Images in posts!

I'm confused!!
In the FAQ, it clearly states that images can be used in sig's but I don't seem to be able to get it to work properly (as you can probably see from my sig )
Also, could a Mod pls let me know if this pic is too big for my sig
My Banner @ Photobucket

Thanks for taking time to help

The FAQ implies images can be used in sigs, as it answers the question "Is there a limit to signature image size?".

Actually, the FAQ lies - you can't embed images in sigs, or posts themselves - just links to them via the [ url= ] system.

Unless you're a redname and have access to haxx, of course...

Quote from FAQ
"How do I add an image to my message?
In order to add an image to your message or your signature, you must have the image already available on a web server. This can be an image on your own personal web page, for example. To place an image within a message, simply use the following Markup Tag:

[image]http://www.url_to_image.com/image_name.gif[/image] "

I don't mean to be contrary, but that is definatly more than an implication

And if it is simply wrong, then I accept defeat( for now ) and ask that the FAQ be updated, so that future users will know

The FAQ is basically just a generic UBB FAQ. It doesn't take into account any options that have been disabled unfortunately.

Ah, my bad - I did a text search on the page for "sig" and found the quote I mentioned, completely overlooking the immediately preceding one that did clearly say you could add images to sigs. Sorry about that.

Although sadly the FAQ's still wrong - no embedded images for bluenames like us.

Bah!
Ah well, never mind then!
Thanks for the responses anyway
