    *a little context* (ignore the below line if someone sent you to this thread)

    Ever since I began making sigs for my team I have received over 10 people asking me how to add it to their signature. I guided them one by one and then finally gave up and searched the forums but couldn't find a guide I'm also really sorry if the steps I take in this guide annoys you, remember this is meant for total newbies.  so here's the Guide

     

    Welcome to my guide on How to add a Forum/Profile Signature !

    Please Note that the Max dimensions for a Forum signature are 600 Horizontal Pixels and 100 Vertical Pixels ( 600x100) where as for profile signature there are no limit on dimension except there's a word limit and its Huuuuuge(H with 5 U's)

    Another Note: for some strange reasons forum signatures get Cut by 297 horizontal Pixels effectively making the image half I have already made a bug report on it, fingers crossed hope it gets fixed.

    So what is a forum signature you ask?



    the image you see in the Green box is called a forum signature, its a graphical image making you look cool (yep I'm exaggerating). Mostly users add it to show it off when they post in the forum, during competitions people add it to show off their teams ! 

    So here's How you add it to your forum signature,

    Step 1: Procure the gfx link url, ask your gfx maker or if you made the graphics upload it to Imgur and right click on the uploaded image and click on copy image url for example the link should look something like https://i.imgur.com/3U5EQG4.png (notice it ends with a file extension, ie, .png or .gif or .jpg)

    Step 2: Visit your forum signature tab in your user preferences to do this



    then you should see the below page



    Step 3: Click on the Profile Signature tab,



    Now a page like the below should show up



    (Please note that if you didnt previously add a signature then yours should be empty. if you already have one there just save it somewhere and then select it and click on the delete click (iOS users click on it then KEEyboard pops up simply press the delete button and its gone )

    Step 5: Now See that "A" button at the top, yep thats the devil that stops many players from ever finding out how to add a signature,



    This is what you should see after you successfully click on it !



    Step 6: now simply click on the image button on the bar to add an image



    now the below box should pop up simply paste the earlier procured link on it, leave the dimensions as is if it is 600x100 or play around see what fits but ensure its 600x100 max or it won't fit.



    Click on the 'OK' Button and you're done. note: make sure the link ends with a image extension ie, png,gif, jpg or any other.



    If you need more help with it, feel free to Contact me :)

    I was thinking the forum sig was 600x100 as well, but the wiki shows max width of 500.
    I'm finding that the 600x100 banners doesn't all show, but when I scale down to 590x98 it all fits.

    Excellent guide. I hope people actually start using it.
