    Once you sign up with them, get the car ID# from your profile and put it in this url where I put the "#" signs. Then put this "/" before the last and [url] brackets.....ex [/url]

    Hi-

    I signed up with Greenhybrid.com but I'm having trouble getting them to display in my signature.

    In the last message it looks like there is some sort of link (brackets....ex) that isn't working.

    Would anyone please repeat the code I need to cut and paste? I have my vehicle number.

    Actually, you can see what I have below - what have I done wrong?

    Thanks

    The new forum software makes it a little easier:
    1. Click the Insert Image ([​IMG]) button.
    2. Enter the URL to your GreenHybrid signature (you know ... http://greenhybrid.com/compare/mileage/car/#/signature.png)
    3. Click "OK".
    4. All done.

    Thanks for your patience with this. You may not believe this but I have copied the text field as instructed. This isn't rocket science! I did it! And when I previewed it, the Greenhybrid image and MPG's appeared as it should. BUT, when I go back to my signature page or I look at my signature on a post, it comes out in programming language. Honestly, I've followed the directions - copy and paste, make sure your greenhybird vehicle number is inserted. And then I see the correct results when I preview the signature. I save the signature! BUT then the image goes away when I leave the page. Anyone know what's going on?

    Thanks for your help.

    I tried out the instructions below (Proco's) and successfully added mine, once I got rid of the "www". So consider the procedure "idiot" tested. LOL !!

    I figured out the problem. I don't have permission to use HTML in my signature. Under signature permissions, under HTML it says NO.

    Anyone know how to change this?

    Thanks!

    Or maybe its that I'm not allowed to upload images into my signature?

    Any help appreciated...

    Try it again and make sure that ALL you have in the image text box is your link from the http: to .png

    Don't do the preview and just click save. I've had troubles similar to this in the past and I think it gets messed up when you do a preview of it.

    Try it without the preview and see what happens.

    Copy and paste the following into your sig, but put it all on one line:
    Code:
    [img]

    :rolleyes:

    You'll need to try again. Also, if your doing 2 of them, you need to coordinate and do them at the same time, otherwise you end up with the same troubles.
