1. How do I get an image in my signature?
2. How do I get a custom title?
3. How can I get my own avatar? For some reason it doesn't work.

1) You have to post it online somewhere and link to it with HTML

2) You can't only Jay can

3) You have to email it to Jay so he will upload it

You will be able to do 2 and 3 when the new site is up and running. Just wait till then because I doubt Jay has time to upload stuff as of now.

1 down, 2 to go.

Now if someone could make my picture smaller...

Don't you have any picture editing software? If you don't, I'm sure someone will help you out.

Until you figure out how to do that I suggest you take that picture down. You will only make it hard for people with dial up to view threads where you have posted.

Ironically, I'm using dial-up. So if I can load it, they can load it.

That's not irony, but whatever.
Open you image in MS paint, resize it, and relink to it. Problem solved. It's way too big, dial up or not - it's bloody annoying.

Ingo, Jay typically has a problem with signature images that large as it gluts his database and results in him having to spend more of his personal money on bandwidth. He won't be happy. I'd suggest removing it before he has a problem and asks you to do it himself.

But here's another problem: I don't know how to upload images onto the Internet, and I don't have a site to upload them too.

Flickr or Imageshack, maybe? They work and are easy to use.

I'll try it. And if it works, I'll fix it up.

Fixed.

BTW, I like Imageshack. I think I'll use it a lot more often.
