Rant: Broken sig pics.

Why is it that some of the biggest posters here can't keep thier sig pic working? I'm getting tired of seeing vertical space being hogged by a little grey box with a red X in it. How hard is it to reallize that your sig pic isn't working? Do you not even glance at your posts after you post them? Do you not notice that your earlier posts don't look quite right? Or do you have your sig on your hard drive so you're the only one who can see it? This really gets on my nerves, so fix your sig pics, or remove them.

I can offer some help to the clueless
In order to have a properly working sig pic, follow these steps:

1. Create or have someone make you a sig pic in JPG or GIF format. BMP format is no good, it must be JPG or GIF
2. Acquire a free hosting service, such as GeoCities. If you already have a free account somewhere, great
3. Rename your sig pic file to the extention .txt (that's right, we're making things think this is a text file)
4. Upload your sig to your free webspace; how you do this varies by your free hosting service. If you're using Geocities, goto geocities.com, sign in, then click on File Manager on the right and go from there
5. Go into your profile and add an [img] tag to your sig (eg. ); remember that it's extention is .txt
6. Go to a previous post you have made and verify that your sig pic shows up correctly

Is that really so hard?
