Richard, the two pics you have stored here are still too large for use as a sig pic. You could put a link to them, tho.
Also, you need to set up the signature, to include the photo(s).
Adam has posted THIS to help with that.
I can put a link to the photos in your sig. for now, and re-size them later, if you want.

I must be a dunce at this, but I looked at your link on Posting a Picture.  I up loaded 2 photos to photobucket.com per your instuctions.  The part I'm unclear about is in your item 8 where you say "past that link where you want it".  The only place where Adam's Help instruction says to put photos is in My Profile, in the Forum Signature section.  And I can't get that to work for me, because when I click on the URL or IMG buttons, they enter the appropriate tags but don't allow my cursor to be inserted so I can past the URL address.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dennis, I can help re-size the two pics you have here now, if you like. They are way too large to be used as sig pics.
I don't know why you can't insert the links in the tags, tho. You should be able to place your cursor in between the sets of tags, and then "paste" the link. P/M me if you need more help, and I'll be more than happy to do what I can.

You're trying to modify your forum signature in the wrong place.  You can't do it in your C3VR Profile anymore. You have to do it in your Forum Settings, using the settings button near the top middle of the forums pages: Member%20Control%20Panel%20MenuSettings

Don't be too frustrated guys. This is probably the number 1 hurdle on this site.
Once you figure out how to get over it, the rest is a piece of cake.
You will notice most members need help with this in the beginning.
 
The good news is that it is getting easier.

I'm not sure this will work, but I resized my pictures down to 400x260 pixels and entered the Forum Codes for a URL to the address of my pictures in www.photobucket.com .  You system said my profile has been updated so lets see if this works with this post.

Didn't work, so I entered the Forum Codes for an IMG and when I previewed my signature, I saw my pictures.  So let's see if they are visable when I post this message.

I still don't see anything in your sig box. There is no text at all there. Where are you putting this?
You should be putting it in the "Profile Information" section, under "Settings".
Then make sure you click on the "Update My Profile".
Also, once that is done, and it works when you "Signature Preview", then, when you make your next post, be sure to click on the "Show Signature" box at the lower right of the post box, just above the "Post Reply" box.

But, at this time, you have nothing in your profile/sig box...

I'll be glad to insert your pics/links into your sig. if you want. I have the two you have "saved" already...

When I had Updated My Profile before, I got an error message from your site that said to adjust my firewall software to accept cookies, which I did.  I recopied the images, previewed them (which worked) and Updated My Profile again, and didn't get the error message.
 
So now, hoping that 3rd time is a charm, I'm trying it again, making sure that my Show Signature is checked.  Here  goes ....

It looked like it worked, except the images are too big.  Could you help with the resizing.  Thanks for your help.  Dennis

I've somehow lost my signature pic and can't for the life of me figure out how to replace it even using Adam's directions.

Jim...you changed your pic, didn't ya?
It's actually a little bit too large for a sig pic...I did go ahead and put a link to it for now, anyway.
If you want to shrink it a bit, then it will be ok, or, I can re-size it for ya and stick it back up.

Follow the link at the top of My Personal File Folder to "Google's photo software" it is called Picasa and is a good free photo editing tool.  Fairly easy to use, too!
