How to upload your signature
First you need to find the image that you want to be your signature with a suggested dimension size of 500x125 pixels. Copy the URL address at the top of your screen in the search bar, by clicking and dragging your cursor over the URL address and then pressing and holding the “ctrl†key and then the “c†key afterwards to copy your URL address for your signature.

Before you start uploading you will want to resize your avatar image to be 120x90 or 120x120 to fit the WBO avatar size so as your avatar will not be pixilated. Photoshop is the best and fastest way to resize your avatar. The maximum file size for avatars is 100 KB.

How to replace your URL address with text.
You will have to paste your URL address into the “Change Signature†box then simply put
.
Example: [url=] [/url]
Then you can click the “Update Signature†button and then you are done!
How to make a spoiler.
You can take an entire paragraph and post it in the “Change Signature†box and insert your words or paragraph or even an image or more spoilers! Then place [spoiler] [ / spoiler] after it. It is suggested that you use this for off topic subjects on threads. But it can also be a good way to create a message in your signature as well as funny quotes!
