Newbie question

Hi,
New to the board. One of your members told me about this great board. Said I could swap ideas and get answers. How do I get my car pic below instead of on the side? Look forward to sharing thoughts with all of you.

Jack

One thing to understand is that the picture must be put up somewhere else first. That is, the picture does not actually reside in your signature here, but you are really putting in a "link" that tells the viewer's computer which web site to look into to pick up and "merge" your pic into the signature here.

I don't know how to explain the above any more clearly or logically...Teckies?

A little moderation in the size of signature images would be appreciated, though.
One of the many advantages to using Mozilla Firefox as a browser is that it allows me to right-click on an oversize signature image and block it, and any images from that particular host. It makes oversize signature images go away, although they can be brought back.

I love Mozilla, too bad IE still has some functionality that I love that Firefox still doesn't have.

Keep IE & Netscape for their individual features if and when needed but use Firefox!

Netscape & Mozilla (Firefox) are both made from the same platform. IE is kind of hard to get rid of....
