I've looked around the forums on posting sigs. No explanation on how to post them really from start to finish. Can someone run me through it? I've read the thread starter in the post above about the size in pixels being 770x250. Have that already made. Have a imageshack and such but it's not posting. Made sure view sigs was checked in profile but keep getting nothing. Thanks in advance.

    It's actually quite simple if you have a static sig.  Simply copy the image by right clicking it and paste it to your sig box.  If your sig uses Folding @home updates or something like that I can't really help you with that.  You should try contacting Sleinous.

    Okay I have made a small guide for you and future askers. =)
    For those with Photobucket
     

     
    For those with Image Shack
    (This is where i think you're having trouble)

     
    Next go on the EVGA forum homepage.

     
    Then..

     
    and then...

     
    and then you should get this.
     

     
    Finally your image should show up in the preview box, now just make sure to SAVE!!

     
     
     
    If your image didn't show up and instead showed as a paper ripped in half..

    *Right click desired image*
    (This also works with posting pics on the forums)

    I might point out there is one problem with using an image hosting site.  If your bandwidth gets exceeded then you will only have a red x where your sig should be.

    May i suggest then to use flickr. Its bandwidth is far larger than a normal hosting site. Its what i use.

    If he doesn't understand/know how to add sigs & avatars I doubt he will exceeded his bandwidth. I use Photobucket daily and have never had this problem. It would take some real HEAVY usesage..

    +1 Great job! I don't think you could have made it any clearer!!

    A  big thanks to Monst3r for helping me out with this. I was gonna PM him last night or early morn but I really don't like to bother anyone with PM's unless I necessarily have to. He took 30 minutes to write a step by step instruction even though it took me a couple hrs to set up and attempt to post my sig and unknowingly use the wrong link multiple times.
     
    If I can or may, have one of the Moderators staple a BR to his chest please for his kindly deed in which he was in no way obligated to do. Thank you and thank you again Monst3r.
     
    Someone should attach/insert this extra instruction into the main post in the Thread Starter section please. It's finely detailed.

    Flickr does not allow hotlinking unless you link that image back to Flickr. It is their policy.

    I'd recommend using Dropbox for your image hosting needs. Uploading is a snap; all you need to do is drag to a local folder that'll sync up to the Dropbox cloud.
