How to Set an Animated Signature Online
A signature is a small image or banner often used at the bottom of an online forum post. In order to use an animated image in your signature, you must upload the picture to a file or website host, which will create a URL address for the image. If you do not have your own website host, you can upload your picture to a free image hosting service instead. Once you have the URL address for your image, you can place the animated picture in your forum signature.
