I can't find a way to put an image in my post or signature. How do you do it?

See the Img button up top? You can use that. Or you can manually put the [img] tags yourself.

The important thing though is that the image has to be somewhere on the Internet. This is because in between the tags, you need to put the url of the image (it should end in .jpg, or .png, or some other image format).

If you want to post something from your Desktop, upload it to a site like photobucket or imageshack.

Okay thanks. I kept on trying to do it straight from my desktop and it kept on failing.

It seems you've forgotten the slash in the img tags in your sig.

It should look like this:

Code: Select all: [img]<url>[/img]

You cannot upload from your desktop, or any other place on your hard drive. You need to upload the picture to a hosting site like photobucket.com.

The only thing you can upload straight from your desktop or hard drive is your avatar.
