What happened to my signature? All I have is a link saying "image". I'm sure it's a link because I have banner being a link. Why won't it show up?

EDIT: I just looked in the banner gallery and none of them showed up. Did the image URL's they used go down?

EDIT: I followed the image url and it says: "The image cannot be displayed because it contains errors"

What image is this? I don't see any broken links on your signature?

It's not a broken link. I don't see my banner appearing. It may be a Firefox 4 thing, I'll go check.
Nevermind, my banner's back. I have no idea why, but I it works again.

Drako, how did you get your banner to become a Xelerus link?

I can't get mine to do that...no matter how I arrange the [url] tags...? Does it change things if my banner is being hosted by imageshack? Can't I still have a hyperlink over an image? That's basic HTML programming, but BBCode i'm not so good with.

I know with HTML, you have a link like this - >

Code: Select all

<a href="xelerus.de"><img src="img.imageshack.com"/></a>
That would hyperlink the image, but does that work with BBCode?

I have

Code: Select all

[url="blablablaTheURLwhereyouwanttoGo"][Img]URLofTheImage[/img][/url]
That way you have the same effect as making a link but the link is an image.
