To get a picture from a game its usually enough to hit the "Print Screen" button on the keyboard, and then paste it into a paintprogram and save.

To get the sig pic, go to "My Profile" and add [img]The url for you image[/img] and it should work... remember the picture cant be bigger than 200 * 200 and no bigger than 75kb's

Or then the game copies them directly to yer hard drive. This is the case with Baldur´s Gates, at least.

Oh yeah, don't link the picture to your HDD because it doesn't work that way. I once saw someone (in other forum) who has a sig something like C:\picture\mysig.jpg. Damn funny... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

<font color=plum>You will need to "host" your picture on a website that allows remote access. If you don't have a website of your own, RanchoWeb is a good alternative.

It allows a free account with 1MB of storage space. This is big enough to host about 150 properly-sized sig pics.

If you don't want to make your own account, I will be happy to host a picture for you on my RanchoWeb account. Just e-mail a copy of the picture you want and I will set it up for you.</font>

Preferably, yeah. .gif or .jpeg is fine, .bmp's way too large.
Convert it to jpeg in a paint program, then go into your ranchoweb account and choose "upload files".

Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img]
