Make Image in Sig "Live"

I would like to take a small image, the logo in my signature, live, so that when a user clicks on it it takes them to a URL i specify. Sorry if live isn't the right word.


Is this possible?


Thanks for any help.

It's called a hyperlink or an active image.

For this image it would be created like this without the '*':


For a normal website the HTML code will look like this:

Okay, so when sending the message I wouldn't see the image, I would only see the html? This is referencing an image I can store on my computer or my website?

Thanks for answering!

You will not see the code at all, you will only see what the code actually means.

What you do in simple term is put the image into your sig as you would normaly do, then you put the URL code brackets around the signiture code. This will then mean that whatever is inside the URL code (your signiture image) will be what is actually linked.

It may be easier if you actually post the URL to the image and the URL you want the image to point to on here and someone will make the code for you.

Correct. In this case, you would only see the BBCode. When you save it as your signature then you will see the actual results.

Important note, you can't link to files on your computer. For example if you enter "Cusers\eric\images\picture.png" in the image url part it will not work. You must upload the image to your webspace or use a third-party image hosting (imageshack etc).
