Hi, This may be SUPER common sense to some, but I see alot of people getting amazing sigs (via meow+me+others), and not using them. The most common problem is because they don't know how to add them! Heres a simple guide that'll get you on your way.
Leechers do not have access to signatures, they may have basic avatars. Please contribute to enjoy these features.
Step 1:
Scroll Over "User CP" And Select It. :: This is your user control panel, A place where you may edit many things, such as signature, avatar, info ect.
Step 2:
You will be brought to a page that displays recent thread updates and recent rep given/received. Ignore this, Look to the left side you will see about 3-4 subtopics, Ignore all of them except the first "Control Panel".
Step 3:
The Subtopic Control Panel will have 5 options, Pay attention to either
1. Edit Signature
2. Edit Avatar
Click on the appropriate Link.
Step 4:
These following steps are the most complicated, but don't fret. To start off make sure that your image fits these requirements
Signature Requirements:
1. Must be 500x100 Pixels or 19.5 KB No more.

Step 5:
Uploading your image!
Signature:
TWO OPTIONS:
1. URL (Harder, But Works)
2. Upload Image from PC (Easisest Method)
HOW:
Just find your image, find the url or open it up in your computer
Scroll down, and select "Save Signature" or "Preview Signature" if you'd like to test it.
Were not done yet! (Check step 6 for inserting.)
Avatar :
TWO OPTIONS:
1. URL
2. Upload Image from PC
HOW:
See Signature "HOW" Section. Check for errors. You can stop here for avatars
Step 6:
Basically for signatures only. Sometimes when you click "Save signature" the Sig pic is not inserted.
To fix simply scroll to where it displays your sig and click "Insert Sig Pic", Check the upper box and make sure it is not repeated,
It should look like this SIGPIC/SIGPIC With brackets around it [][]
More Info on Signature Pictures.
1. Make sure you INSERT THE SIGNATURE PICTURE.
2. Make sure There are brackets around SIGPIC/SIGPIC ex: [ SIGPIC ][ / SIGPIC ] Without the spaces.
3. Make sure you have the / in the second bracket just before SIGPIC this is a must.
Hope this helped anyone who had questions on the subject. Questions? Comments? Feel free to add.
Don't flame.
