    What's so special about XF? VBulletin has more mods and styles for it. Very fewto choose for XF plus they are kinda fugly.

    Wow!! :)

    It's using jQuery, I'm seriously considering to learn that in case I ever have to do some web programming again! ;)

    I'm still floored by how elegant the user interactions are with XF! I hadn't played with it a whole lot before now.

    I just went through the process, so ... ;)

    Go to the top of the page, on the right hand side, look for your user name "Big Dan", with a circled down arrow next to it.
    Hover the mouse over it, or click on it, and a drop down menu will appear. Click on "Signature". This lands you in the signature editor.
    Since the new editor is WYSIWYG, you might want to mark everything with Ctrl-A then click the rubber icon on the top left side of the editor to get rid of formatting. Then click on the image icon and insert the link. (Brandon, how did you find out the user ID?)

    If you want it centered, click on center first before inserting the image. Use preview a lot to see what happens. ;)

    p.s. you can find out your user ID for instance by clicking on "Members" then look for your user name, then hover the mouse over it. An easier way is to hover your mouse pointer over your avatar image. :)

    I don't see a signature link in the prefs box, I see avatar and personal details but no signature. Perhaps a permissions issue?
