First, welcome to the forums. You'll like it here. Everyone is helpful and friendly. (My, that sounded precious, didn't it?) As far as pictures go, you must first sign up with a hosting site. Most here use www.photobucket.com and/or www.fotopic.net, but there are others out there. Most sites provide a certain amount of space free of charge. Once you have established an account, you up load your photos to the site following their directions. Once your photo is on the site, determine the URL of the photo you wish to post by right clicking on it and looking under preferences. To insert the photo into a post, type the URL between these brackets: [img] [/img Make sure to type the URL exactly and without any spaces(and put the closing bracket on the end). To put a picture (or group build badge) in your signature, go to update profile and follow the instructions. Good Luck, Pete
