For those interested in how I made my sig pic link to the larger version here's a quick howto.

I'll create a page that descibes how to make you sig image link.
Meanwhile here's the scoop.

You'll need 2 images for this, a thumbnail and a larger image.
Both posted somewhere on the web.
Let's assume you have the images posted at
www.someplace.com/somedir/sigimage_tn.jpg (the thumbnail)
www.someplace.com/somedir/sigimage.jpg (the full size image)

Login to the forum then click on Profile (see menu near top right of this page)

Edit your sig.
First test using the thumbnail.
In all of the following examples I'm using curly braces in place of square braces. If I use the square braces here, they'll get translated so you cannot see them.

ok, to include the thumbnail in your sig.
type in {img}http:www.someplace.com/somedir/sigimage_tn.jpg{/img}
Don't forget to change those {} to square braces!

Now test your sig by clicking on the preview button.

I'm going to assume it looks good.

Now to make the sig link to the bigger image.
surround the img tags with link tags.
{url=""}{img}http:www.someplace.com/somedir/sigimage_tn.jpg{/img}{/url}

AGAIN, don't foget to replace the curly braces with square braces.

Then in the quotes of {url=""} enter the source of the bigger image.
eg. {url="http:www.someplace.com/somedir/sigimage.jpg"}

Again test it by clicking on the preview.

Cool.
