I notice that those of you that still use photobucket have a lovely watermark that says proudly hosted by photbucket. Lovely. So glad I bailed out on them when they first changed their model. Just another symptom of the slow death that is coming?
 
I use photobucket for my sig pic below... it doesn't have this water mark you speak of

Edit... I just saw the water mark on sbw1 sig pic... I wonder why I don't have one?.. I see what you mean ..that's gotta go

I dumped Photobucket when they went to the pay site, but I did a little search and found this.
Over the past month, we’ve introduced watermarking to images that are hosted from free accounts. We believe this is a fair balance. It allows us to continue offering free services without compromising Photobucket’s long-term sustainability.

That was exactly what I thought they were doing.

I'm not seeing the photo bucket logo on any of my pix and have not used PB in years. What are you seeing that I am not?

I see this and I'm guessing it's what Mike is referring to.
 
I'll see if I can get rid of it. It does not appear on my screen when I log in.
 
Ok. I deleted the old pic and and downloaded the same pic from my photo library. i see no logo. Is it gone?

That's odd because I couldn't see it to begin with until Mitch posted the screen shot.
 
Nope, still there. Oh, and come spring time, can you please get rid of that cold winter sig. pic? You have a beautiful place there so let's see some green grass. Thanks, Mitch
I'll see what I can do. However, that is a spring shot. Will look for a summer pic without snow. Should be one after the 4th of July.
 
Baby steps. How do you upload a pic to your signature. Not seeing instructions in the FAQs. Can you do it from your photo library or does it have to come from a third party hosting site like photo bucket?

I use a free 3rd party host:

Agree. Never saw it and now I can't figure out how to add a new signature pic. The avatar instructions are quite clear. Signature

Is third party required or can you upload from your photo library?

It appears to be required... I checked mine and I had to use a URL to point to my picture.
 
Thanks guys, I also stoped using Photobucket when they started charging and recently tried login in into my old account so I could add a new sig picture but that didn’t work so I’ll try the imgbb site.
