You will need a photobucket account to post pictures of any kind on the forum, it's simple and free. But I know what you mean it does look complicated, sometimes if you ask in PG people will make a signature for you.
Looks like i am going to have to ask for help, my computer is not agreeing with the paint.net download and crashed when i tried to download the .net package
If you don't have a photo bucket account don't worry, someone else can make it for you.
All you need to do is email your pics to someone, they will chop them up, copy them onto photobucket, tart it up a bit, re-size etc and then PM you the code which you then bob into your signature thingy in your personal profile. Providing that person does not delete the pic from their photobucket account then it will also be in your signature.
If you want I can make you one, put you will have to email me the pics as an attachment.
