1. Well if you recieve a banner I am going to teach you how to upload it into your signature box most of you will already know this but never hurts for newer members.
First: Either go to www.imageshack.us www.tinypic.com
I'll use imageshack.us but they are both pretty similar.
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2022/moderatoryj5.pngFirst go to browse find your image double click then press upload it(note images on Paint work better than word)
It will take you to
this page (I'll teach you how to disguise a link after this) we are going to focus on the bottum of the page first the first link(hotlink to forums 1) is for the image to appear on the screen like so

The the problem with is the image will become a link to www.imageshack.us to prevent this copy the link I have pointed to above
this link.
If you copy that and just post it by itself it will come up like this
http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8502/modaq8.png to not have that do that [IMG][/IMG] Post that but put the link in between thoses ]Right here[. That will make the image as not a link. Thoses are the only main ones on the bottum of the page now we will move to the top of the page.
Theses aren't as important well I never use them if you copy the second link from the top it should show up as this >

Now for banners this is what I do right click the banner Save As go to www.imageshack.us browse it find the banner host/upload it go to the very bottum copy the very last link and then put that in your siggy box in between ][ again as I stated above, that's it for hosting images now lets move onto Link how to diguise them.
Here we go [url= <Link Here> /] <Text here> [/url] no wirrting and no <>
Thanks for reading

Still a bit sketchy because I had to take out all the IMG codes.
