okies, i have designed a pic for my sig which is here. But when i come to placing it in my signature using the img tag in the code it doesnt show, it doesnt work for some reason. the following is the coding that wont work for my sig 'cept that the <'s and >'s are actually ['s and ]'s so that it will show::

code:

---

<align=center><b>:: MEthos 2 :/b>
http://methos2.skarz.co.uk
<img>http://methos2.skarz.co.uk/sig2.gif</img>
</align>

---

I'm sure this should work, i have checked the image size allowed and everything and cant see whats wrong, any suggestions???

um that link

http://'http//methos2.skarz.co.uk/sig2.gif'

for some reason redirects to microsofts site

^^read the thread first, i said that all the <'s are ['s in the code, i put them in so you can see the code and not the failed sig...

code:

---

[ align=center][ b]:: MEthos 2 :[ /b]
http://methos2.skarz.co.uk
[ img]http://methos2.skarz.co.uk/sig2.gif[ /img]
[ /align]

because http://http:// redirects to microsoft.com (They must own 'http' as a TLD or something.)

strange, i can't see it at all in FF and it comes up as the unavailable cross in IE, can any1 else actually see my sig??

It redirects to an MS site because you (or a program he once executed) has set your browser to redirect to that MS site when an URL cant be found. This is the same as when you type plain text you could also let it redirect to your favorite search engine instead of getting an error message.

In other words: it's because of how your browser is set up.
