I am hoping to find out which file codes are the default for the signatures.  I thought I used the image file codes when we first started building our site but now we are having to use the HTML code for the signature in order to get them to show up.

Something very odd, too.  One of use who has a signature does not have a clickable signature that takes her back to Photobucket but two of us do.  We all three used the HTML code from Photobucket to get the signatures to show. 

I would rather use the image file code, and if we could, that previous question would actually not even be relevant.  Is that do-able?

file codes for signatures?  not sure I follow...  signatures are entered in on a user's profile...

what does image file code mean?  when you enter your signature in the profile, you can use html if that is what you mean...

Yes in the profile, where you put in the code for your signature, I am used to using the image file code from Photobucket.

For this signature box, it seems the only way to get the signature to show up is to use the http file code.

The http file is causing our signatures to become a link that links back to photobucket.

sorry, I just dont know what image file code means...  or the http file code... its not standard terminology...

can you post what you are entering?  after pasting in your post, highlight the code and then use the code button, looks like ${} to make it viewable...

We are having to use the HTML file code in order for the signature to show up.

<a href="http://s626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/wackyforwebkinz/Guild%20Album/?action=view&current=ZadiraSignature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/wackyforwebkinz/Guild%20Album/ZadiraSignature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

What I would like to be able to use is the Image [img] file code.

Thanks for you help!

if you just want the image, how about just trying:

<img src="http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/wackyforwebkinz/Guild%20Album/ZadiraSignature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

Oh wow! That worked.  So the software takes care of the image tags for us?

Now we need to figure out how to set up a simple guide for the kids.   ;D  I am not sure how to tell them what to use for their signatures.embarassed

Is there a way to be able to copy and paste the image code straight from Photobucket into the signature box? I don't seem to be able to copy and paste the image code here for you to see. 

How would I let the kids know the correct way to put the right code in the signature box?

Here is a picture of what the options we have in Photobucket.

Both the 'Direct Link' and 'HTML Code' should work OK although I assume the HTML Code just creates a link to the image. The 'IMG Code;' will only work if you are using the bbCode editor.
