In the FIRST instance of IMG, remove the /. It should be (without quotes) "[img]; the end of the line is fine.

"If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there."

Hmm. mIssed that subtle difference. I found it necessary to delete the old Img references and then insert new ones. I copied the url references to a notepad and then pasted them back into the new Img references. Worked. Go figure and good luck to you, Sir.

Crap, seems like I am getting too old to learn anything new, how the heck do I get the items I want to work in my signature block instead of the code showing up. I mean what is up with that?

I'm having the same trouble....old dogs...new tricks

Finally...disabled the BBcode...course I tried that about 3 or 4 times before it worked

First, try to delete all the codes, but leave your text.

Highlight the portions you want in BOLD and in color and select those options above (this is in PROFILE/SIGNATURE). Select each option you want for the selected highlighted text. Then go to the next text you want to display in a different color, etc, highlight, etc.

I did notice your IMAGE referenced ACWGC.ORG site, which I do not think works.

If you need a place to store your images, I can do that and once your send me the image, I will upload to my site and send you the URL.

Sometimes the URL did not migrate exactly, so just re-write the [img] and {/img} code.

"If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there."

SOME members have had luck with their signature and images by DISABLING the BB Code, which is to the RIGHT side menu on the Profile/Signature page.

Try it. If that works for your signature, great.

If not, there is a procedure in an earlier post I made.

"If you do not know where you are going, any road will take you there."

I've noticed a few signatures missing images, my own included. It appears when things were moved to the new forums the profiles used were from an older list as several signatures have urls from acwgc.org. If you're missing an image check your Profile and Signature and update them for new url's.

Any AotP officers who do not have a place to store their images that allows remote loading may use the images from the army site, just right click on the image and click on properties then copy and past the url from the window into the img statement in your signature. If you want to use something other than the images from the AotP site drop me an email with the image attached and I'll upload it to the site and send you the url.
