Hey everyone! I love everyone's member icons and signatures, but I have no diea how to make them! Do you use a special program, or just use some images you find somewhere on the Internet? It would really help me out, thanks so much!

I use Photoshop to make mine, but I guess you could also use free legal software like Gimp :) and I know that they have a couple of other graphic editting programs that do trials.

Thank you so much, WeLuvUBoA-kiddo!! I don't have photoshop (nor can I afford it) and I've never heard of Gimp, so thank you. And I also didn't know if people just found pictures and used them for icons or signatures. I'm downloading it right now, I can't wait to give it a try!

Usually it takes a nice trimming to fit the average signature and playing with effects in the program, though there are some who are more skilled than myself and create really amazing effects.  Anyway, you are very welcome and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Well, I attempted to make my signature and icon, and this is the result, as you can see. I have NO idea how to use Gimp, so the pics are kinda sucky. It took me forever to somewhat get the hang of it. Thanks so much again, it was a lot of fun! ^_^
