How do you insert a gif into your sig?
I'm not sure then. I always right click and save to your desktop. Then I upload the .gif to imageshack, wait for it to upload, then click on the picture. That brings up the picture again along with a bunch of links. I grab the "forums" one and copy and paste. Then go to quick links here at the top of the svtp page>edit signature>paste your "forums" link down at the bottom in "option #1" and click save signature. Good luck.
My sig is an animated .gif Sorry it isn't workin for ya.
