    1. Create a Photobucket account (You can easily create one by going to www.photobucket.com), and it's free!

    2. Find the image you would like to use as your picture for the signature. (You want to look for an image that is not wallpaper sized "1024 x 768" and one that is not smaller than "53k" anything smaller could distort your image and make it blurry!)

    5. It is recommended to get familiar with the forum you are subscribed to. Most have different settings and setups than others.

    6. Once you are familiarized and logged into your forum, go to Account Profile and "edit signature" or something along that sort. Read this page and find out if there are certain restrictions you have such as(picture size, what kind of pictures are allowed, and file size ex. 53k)

    7. Go back to the image you would like to use as your signature. Log into your photobucket account on (www.photobucket.com) go to the "Albums & Upload" and from there upload the image into your account.

    8. Once the picture is uploaded to your photobucket it is now time to edit and resize the image. To do this click on the "edit" tab above the picture. Once in the editing menu use the paintbrush tool or any other tool to edit the picture to your standards. (Be creative try different effects and tools) Now that you have finished editing click the "resize" button and put in the specifications that the forum allows or what you prefer. Don't forget to save!

    9. After the picture is saved, there will be four different types of ways to display your image online. The one we want is the "Forums and Bulletin Boards" click on the extension and it will copy itself.

    10. Now it's time to go back to your forum and paste that extension that we got from photobucket into the "signature" edit and save.

    11. Now enjoy your new signature that you designed yourself!
