first you must host the banner at a webhosting place ( http://www.villagephotos.com is a good one)

then copy the link they give you and paste it in the sig part of your profile, surrounded by the "[img]" "[/img]" tags and then save changes, and it should work.

practically the same for avatars i think
with the exception that avatars is actually easier...

For those that also want to use a banner, make sure it's not too wide. Otherwise, the right side will stretch right off the screen and take the posted text with it, making the pages very annoying to read. So please keep that in mind.

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.

Very nice. All of the above banners are good examples. They're not too large, they don't distract too much, and most importantly they don't make the text scroll off the screen.

As a guideline, I suggest you keep your banners within 600x100 pixels give or take.

I seem to remember ELUSIVE (or at least someone by that name) having a ridiculously large banner which like Sleipnir mentioned, forced the text of the screen.

now now "guest" everyone makes mistakes and ELUSIVE was not the first/won't be the last, once the error had been pointed out to him he was quick to rectify and apologetic so lets not have a witch hunt here ok?
