My Signature!!!

Smitty let me make a suggestion like how I got Black SG's signature pic to work for the forum.

I stole it off the net............. then saved it to MY PICTURES on my computer.
THEN came here and went to "Upload a FILE"
Pulled up the pic and posted it to thread.

Then Wav took it and doctored Black's info and restored it to his signature.

I am sure you could circumvent the part WAV would need to do and just upload it to your Signature from your PICTURES on the computer.
SEE what I mean?
 
I do appreciate everyone's input.

Let me step back and ask a more basic question, particularly of @WavMixer . That is, when I recreated the link to my signature and the images I did the following:

1. Uploaded the pic from my computer to an album I created in TTR.
2. Navigated to the pic in the album.
3. Copied the link in the field entitled, "Share BB Code:" for posting images. I use the Share Image: link for my signature.
4. Pasted that link into the post or signature entry.

In one sense it works, as I am seeing the images, RVA is seeing them, and Wavmixer is seeing them. So, let me ask, am I selecting the correct link? I did try the others, and they don't seem to create an inline image, just a link to the image.

Now, I will describe an interesting experiment I conducted earlier. Using my wife's computer, which is running Windows 7 and and older version of Firefox, I browsed to the forum, but did not log in. I navigated to my Les Paul Studio thread to see if I could see the images. I couldn't. I got the same [ IMG ] text and broken link icon that others have noted. Also, I only had the [ IMG ] text where my signature pic should be. Then, I logged onto the forum from her computer. When I did that, my image links and my signature pic showed up! I then logged off, and the pictures and signature continued to show after that. I repeated this on my son's PC, also running Windows 7, but this time I used Internet Explorer. I had the exact same results.

My computer is a Windows 10 laptop. I use the latest version of Opera on that. The modern version of Opera is essentially a skin for Chrome. I have no issues with viewing images from that. Also, my Chromebook displays my new image links and signature just fine. I also have no issues with my iPhone 5s, running the latest version of iOS, and my Kindle, which is an Android.

So, all of this is weird.

Wavmixer...what are your thoughts on this?

I uploaded to the forum, just copied the web link to the pic, edited my sig...touched the little landscape icon(next to the smiley button)
IMG_4686.JPG
Then I pasted the link into the address box that popped up. Done.
 
Alright...

I've done a little experiment.

First, I set my albums here at TTR so everyone can see them. I did have them set so only the owner could view. Is my signature now showing for those who couldn't see it?

Second, I created an Imgur account. Which pictures are visible at this post?

Les Paul Studio Project

The first picture is now linked to my Imgur account. The others are linked to the album here at TTR, though the album is set so everyone can see it.

Thanks, all.
 
Doesn't worry me but I don't see any signatures under any post by any member.
Actually I think signatures mess the flow of posts up especially long or large ones.
