Excuse me for sounding like a total n00b, but I really want to put images in my signature, specifically those tiny heads of the characters so I can have quotes and other good stuff. This is probably really simple, but if someone could just take the time to post an answer, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

How to use smilies (or 'little heads' as you call them):
To the right of the box where you type, there is a number is smilies. At the bottom of this, there is a link reading 'more'. This gives you a full list of the smilies available, and you can just click on them to insert them into your signature. They will appear as a piece of text with : at each end e.g. :biggrin: or :xykon: (which result in :biggrin: and :xykon: respectively).

How to use other images:
For other people to see the images, it has to be hosted on the internet. This forum doesn't allow you to host images here, so you need to use another service such as Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) or Imageshack (http://www.imageshack.us) (or upload them to your website if you have one). Those sites, which are free, will give you a URL that you can use to insert your pictures here. Just click the http://www.giantitp.com/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif button, and paste in the URL. Alternatively, type URL to get the same effect, which is how it will appear when you're typing your signature.
