accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms,
e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc.

How to use Signatures
How do I add a signature to my post? To add a signature to a post you must first create one, this is done via
your profile.
Once created you can check the Add Signature box on the posting form to
add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your
posts by checking the appropriate radio box in your profile (you can still
prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the
add signature box on the posting form)
Scroll down the page until you see your signature editing box as shown
in the picture below.
Here you can enter short information as indicated by the blue arrow
that will show on every post you make. For example you might want to
include a brief military service history.
When finished scroll down the page until you come to the "Always attach my signature:" option as shown in the next picture below.
Click the "Yes" option as indicated by the blue arrow.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and press the "Submit" button.
Hey presto your signatures are now automatically included on every post you make.
Please Note: Please do not post large images within a post.
Always resize your image to make it as friendly as possible to other users to view. If your image is too big, your post will be edited and the image removed by an moderator. Thanks
