How's it done? Sorry for being such a newb at forum code.

Take the final / out of the image link.

I did that, but it still shows up as the question-mark-box when I look at it.

Weird. Try pasting the second code in the img url then.

Strangely enough, it's still not working.

The code looks like:

Looks to me like you're linking to the page the image is on, not the image itself. That means the code is right, but it's the URL (link address) that isn't. Try changing the URL to:

img843.imageshack.us/img843/5485/picture3fb.png

Like so:

I blame ImageShack. They make the the URLs to the pages their images are on look like the URLs to the actual images. Pretty sure this is to fool search engines into linking to ImageShack instead of the images, by serving the image to search engines and the pages to everyone else when they visit the address you were using (if that makes sense). It's basically a dirty trick to lure search engines into giving ImageShack more visibility, but all this is 'sides the point.

Excellent. Thanks, guys.

By the way, the picture is from a homophobic and conspiracist comic made by Oklahoman politician Brent Rinehart when he was running for public office.

Inserting an image on your signature is almost the same as you are inserting an image from your computer. Instead of browsing from the location of the computer, you may type the internet address of the image from the location field… Correct me if I’m wrong but that is how I understand the process.
