Question Trying to replace Signature with new Photo and Description???

Can't figure out how to replace my signature. Spent quite awhile at the edit site with no success. How do I do this. this is what I want to use as my new Signature. The new Picture is also much larger than I'd like, how do I get it to be as big as the other one?[IMG][/IMG]2014 Ultra Limited, Vivid Black.

You mean like this?

Click on your user name
Upper left click on User CP
On the left side click on Edit Signature
There will be an EDIT SIGNATURE box with the words [sigpic][/sigpic] in it
If you type before the first [ your signature will be before your picture
If you type after the last ] your signature will be after your picture
There will be another box for your picture
Click browse and select the picture wherever you saved it - It will be automatically resized to what I have as my sig pic
Select Preview Signature or Save Signature

I get as far as Click browse and select the picture wherever you saved it. actually it doesn't say Browse, it says Option 2, upload image from your computer, choose file! When I elect the file and hit upload, it won't, if I select preview, it says invalid file. If I use Option number 1, I put in the share image Url from PhotoBucket, hit upload, hit preview, all I get is the message, Invalid file???

I got it, I right clicked on the smaller picture of my bike that you created, saved it in iPhoto, and was able to choose that file in Edit Signature. Still don't know how I would do it on my own without copying your picture, but I've got what I wanted for now, thanks!

If you go back to the edit signature page and put your cursor right after where it shows [/sigpic] and right before 2014, hit enter, it will put all of your text under the picture instead of the first line to the right of the picture

Perfect, would you please tell me how you made my picture smaller so that I can do it in the future!

It's easy to re-size a picture using MSPaint.

As my MSPaint (in Vista) is in Dutch I'll have to guess the English terms used....

Open the picture in MSPaint, left click 4th option from the left (I guess it'll say Image).

Click 2nd option from the top (Change size?) and a pop-up screen opens. Now enter %'s and click OK

Save the re-sized image to your computer and have another try to upload it to your signature or avatar.

looks like you have had quite a military career, I salute you!
I figured out a very simple solution to my problem, firstly, I run Apple Mac, so I'm not sure I could use your suggestion. I found that I can upload any image to Photobucket.com, once I do, I can click on edit, click on resize, at the point, I can upload it directly to my signature or display an image to any message I'm writing in the forum. Oh one more thing, after resizing, I click on the IMG link, it copies, and the I can transfer that photo directly to the forum when it asks for an address from which to pull the image. Thanks for your suggestion, checkout Photobucket and see if it works for you!
