HiI don't seem to be able to get signatures to work? I had it working with an A2A banner but got a message saying it violated the rules. I think it was too big. I've edited it and its smaller now, I've uploaded it to a space on my webspace and I can only get it to display the URL not the actual image which is a JPG. any ideas, cause the same happened when I tried the PMDG banners. the first on worked like a dream.many thanksIan

Never mind, just had to put the IMG tags in there, the URL quote that the system adds was messing it up.In case anyone else is having trouble with this just copy this and add your own links where I've indicated, this will enable you to create a signature which is clickable. if you don't want clickable just remove the URL tag so your signature will start with hope that helps someone

 [url="LINK TO YOUR DESIRED WEB PAGE HERE INSIDE THE QUOTES"][img=THE LINK TO YOUR IMAGE FILE WITHOUT QUOTES][/url]

Greetings all,After reading this topic, I've FINALLY got my signature to work. Well, almost. The banner seems to appear, but how do I add my name to the signature so that it will appear automatically?Thanks,Ron Priever

Hi Ron,Just add your text as you do here, but in the SIG area in your Avsim settings under "My Controls"/Edit signature (on the left side) Place your text above or below your graphic etc. I've placed some text where you need to enter it, just delete mine and add yours :(

OK, I think I have it now. I might have to tweak it, but I have the basic idea. Many thanks
