Have tried implementing your suggestions.
Would having the writing also be a link have an effect on whether the writing can be colored (if this doesn't work)?
I believe I was running a coloured sig with a link to an HTML page for an animated graphic image a few weeks ago. One thing to be careful about is the length of the entire signature, because the extra BBCode tags do add directly to the characters in your sig, and there is a limiut of somewhere around 120 if I recall.
Also, that big ugly image I'm using in my sig right now is actually a sleight on all the other people who continue to torment us with their ugly sig photos with every post they add their name to. That's why Mod gave us avatars, and this stupid idea of having a big pic on my sig wil probably be back to plain text before next Tuesday morning.
Nobody wants to have to read at a newspaper with the same pictures over and over again. That is why the avatars are kept over in the left margin, where they don't mess up the textual content down the page.
I hope I'm not encouraging other people to start putting up MORE blasted photos on their sigs. Mine's going at the end of the month.
