Whatever I try I can't make my sig appear! Where do I upload it to? Could someone give me a CLEAR, DETAILED, walkthrough of how to make it appear!?

First off, you need a host or a server. If you have a website, here's where to start! If not, you have places like Homestead or Prohosting which will work well.

Number two, uploading. Most places feature an EZ Upload function of sorts which you'll see very quickly.

Once the sig is up, note its web address. Usually it's something like http://www.someserver.com/yourwebsite/whateverpicture.jpg It might be different, so watch out and read the stuff on the pages well!

Once done, you can put that as your sig on PSOW!

Can you see it now? Cause I can't. I uploaded it to my geocities site. I copied and pasted the URL and put it in this format

http://www.geocities.com/ultimatewarriorxy/rock-cool-firehands.gif


And it still DOESN'T SHOW UP! What the hell!

Your Geocities sig should be small, because those guys are bitches bandwidth-wise. Anyways. To link a pic from a Geocities site, go rename it, and just chance its extension to TXT. Make your sig point to the renamed file, and it should appear.

Actually, both geocities and angelfire don't allow outside linking of pictures anymore.

As KodiaX said, you need to change the extension of the file to .txt, or make a account on homestead, one of the few places left who still allow outside linking.

Or, buy some webspace. o_O
