Under the logo at the top of the page click on the word 'Profile'.

Click on 'edit my profile'

The in the sig box create a link to where you put the gif using the IMG codes.

Yes your image must be uploaded to a server before you can link it.

As to where.... That's the $64,000 question, there are not many places that allow linking. If you have webspace that came with your internet account (all AOL and Earthlink accounts do) then you could put it there.

Go to the Image forum. At the top of it there is a sticky thread that tells you how to post an image using AOL. It has instructions for how to upload into your webspace. Follow them, then do what I said to edit your sig file and you should get it!

That's not quite what I want to do here. I want the image to pop up in my signature so that it plays by itself. I've seen it done...there has to be a way.

The second post in this thread tells you how to edit your profile and insert the gif there, then it will play. That's all you need to do once you have the gif loaded into linkable webspace which can be done via the instructions at the top of the image forum (you only need to use the load part, not the post part, but the post part is exactly how you will do it when you go to edit your sig, as it works the same way as posts to a forum with the vB codes)

As in the second post in this thread:

How to add a sig:

Under the logo at the top of the page click on the word 'Profile'.

Once the new page loads, click on 'edit my profile'

Then, in the sig box, create a link to where you put the gif using the IMG codes.
