Currently: working on it...this is gonna take a while sweatdrop

Soon to be a step-by-step guide to uploading images for your signature 4laugh

Please do not copy this idea. It's original and I'm very proud of it...I've put a lot of hard work into it and I spent a LOT of time getting everything set up (and I still am) The only help I'd be interested in getting would be step by step screen captures from a free host and with a step by step guide. I will of course give you credit for submitting everything.

In order to put a picture that you've uploaded into your signature use this code:
[IMG]image url here[/IMG]


To link an image to another page use this code:
[URL=page url here][img]image url here[/img][/URL]

Info
Monthly Usage: To view your bandwidth and disk space usage, got into your account preferences. Photobucket currently allows 100 megs of disk space ( ~2000 pictures ) and 2,500 megs of bandwidth ( ~50,000 hits ). This should be more than enough for the average user. Non donators will see a percentage sign next to your bandwidth and album size, this indicates the how much you've used for that month. Bandwidth resets once per month.

Sajhiri
Hm, the 50,000 hit limit would be why I find a lot of users with their sig images having exceeded their bandwidth. With 400,000 users and over 500,000 new posts a day (you can imagine how many post views there are then) someone who is an avid poster in a variety of threads will run out of bandwidth quickly. You may want to recommend photobucket only for those users who don't post 50+ posts a day.
