I've looked in HELP and the FAQ's, but I can't see how to add an image to my signature. It must be possible as several folks here have done so.
Or, is this no longer available?

Hmm, I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried the SMF url and img tags, and both gave me errors. The HTML img tag didn't work either.
And, I know the image is indeed online because I can indeed access it from my web site.

Yes, I included the slash.
In fact, I copied and pasted your code segment just to be sure, then pasted the URL of my GIF image in between the open and close tags.

Thanks!
