Elk figured out how to do it using Chrome's console.

Same thing works for sigs but you also have to check the option to show sigs on the forum. They are hidden by default.

It should work with firefox or (bleargh) IE too. Post in that thread if you have any issues.

This works for signatures too, but you have to enable signatures on the forum in your settings page.

It appears that your image will be scaled down to GS's specifications.

Can you see mine? It's a picture, well a gif actually and I can see it an it works, although I heard gifs are suppose show up as the first image. Maybe it's the image function that isn't working in the sigs currently.

Now that I think about it, the only sigs I see are text, no pics. It may be disabled currently within the site. We can see our own but not others. I'd give it a few days and see if they bring that functionality online.

I've been sifting through some of the site code and currently I'm receiving 107 loading errors on this page alone. I can see some of the images in the site images but they don't appear to be making it to the actual page. I'm betting that either there is a problem with loading sig pictures or it's been disabled for the time being.
