iirc HTML code is off on these boards, so you will have to use BBCode. Not 100% sure what that code would look like, havent used it in a while.

That being said i see a lonely " at the end with no" before it. Maybe that's causing issues.

You can't put a jpg in your signature. Only the avatar. I read that somewhere here.

You can't put an image, or HTML in your signature, you can only put it in your avatar:

Also the HTML is wrong, it's supposed to look like this:

Quote:
<img height="90" width="120" src="Socialsim.jpg">


But first you would have to upload the picture to a website like imageshack or photobucket, so it would end up looking like this:

Quote:
<img height="90" width="120" src="http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3550/Socialsim.jpg">


And I think you spelled Socialism wrong.

If that's how the filename is spelt, it's correct. Signatures with images are not allowed on this forum

The height and width attributes can be left out since they're automatically detected, but the "alt" attribute is required. It is for text to display if the image doesn't load. It can be left empty, but it has to be included for the code to be proper HTML.

And if you were using XHTML, every opening tag has to either have a corresponding closing tag or to end with a slash.

In HTML, the code would be
Code:
<img src="http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3550/Socialsim.jpg" alt="">


In XHTML, the code would be
Code:
<img src="http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/3550/Socialsim.jpg" alt="" />

BBCode would be [ img ] (URL) [/ img ] (without the spaces)

But like others said, images in the sig are not allowed.

Personally, I like to put them in when I can, so the webpage will be the proper size whether or not the images load.

Personally I never use the height and width attributes, I just left them in from the OP's signature, and as for the alt attribute, the image will load fine without it in any modern browser.

Images will load fine without the alt attribute, but it's required as part of the html specification.

Not being able to post pics without having to go around my kneecap to get to my thumb is one of the few complaints I have for the site...;)

If you use photobucket, you can copy and paste the direct link, and that will work...
