    A little off topic but hopefully someone can help.

    Just tried my hand at making my own sig. It looks decent enough so I uploaded it to an image sharing site. When I put the link into boards I get a broken image picture, like the one below.

    3z57i

    The site where the image has been uploaded gives a link to use on forums which results in my sig being made tiny, like it is currently. The image size is 600x150 so this shouldn't happen. Any ideas?

    So should I just upload the image to a different host?

    EDIT: Just uploaded to tinypic, seems to have worked :D

    I would use Photobucket, it's free to sign up and it keeps your pics in an album if you need them in the future. Sig looks cool, did you use gimp? or photoshop?

    Yeah it can be a bit overwhelming at first, youtube tutorials are a great way to learn some tricks, and DeviantArt is a great spot for some really brilliant brushes.

    Yeah it wasn't too bad as I used photoshop quite a bit a couple of years back. That's the place I got the brushes actually, some really nice packs on there

    Turned off?? That means you don't see your beautiful Chris Johnson sig everytime you are on. For some reason my sig is now too big. Need to fix that.
