Maximum size is 120 x 120 pixels
Maximum file size is 49.00Kib
Use this web link to reduce the size of your image to within the above limits (I found there was a lot of trial and error involved ):

Thanks Marlon,
I'm slightly confused about the "link to the image" bit, do I need to have a link to photobucket or something similar?

Yes - you need to 'host' your image on a site like photobucket or postimage.org and link to it like this:Tcochrane92 wrote:Thanks Marlon,

Photobucket has a limit on the number of times an image file can be accessed for "free" accounts. If you have a subscription account then there is no issue.. might be the reason?Marlon wrote:Something very odd is going on - I can see my sig now but I can't see Number5's avatarSmartbear wrote:I still can't see your sig Colin?Marlon wrote:

Otherwise it might just be a caching issue, especially if you've moved the file.
