    Thats it. But if you put the picture first and then put a return in it will look like this...

    'Gardens can be changed into one form or another but cannot be created nor destroyed'. First law of earthodynamics!!

    or this with a return after the text...

    Hi Sunshine,
    Go into 'my profile'
    Click on 'edit profile'
    scroll down to 'select' or 'change avatar'
    and select one.
    For the signature you need to upload your pics into 'your album' in Photobucket.
    copy the pic by clicking on the botton option under the pic. That will copy the pic.
    Back to GC, my profile, edit profile, scroll down to signature and paste it in. [​IMG]

    Thanks will give it another try soon. But how do I know it is the right size as they seem very small?

    Hi Sunshine if you open the folder with the pictures in on your computer, then change the view to details (select the View menu then click on Details) you should have a column called dimensions (you may have to scroll the scroll bar at the bottom of the window to see it as it is usually the last column).

    Alternatively, if you have any picture editing software, that should tell you the dimensions.

    The dimensions should be no more than 100x100 and file size under 10k (if you have picture editing software just select resize and set the dimensions there)

    Good luck!
