Newbie here - any suggestions on how to add a video (from youtube, etc) to my sig?[/color]

I am guessing: go to the utube page where the video is hosted, look at the right hand side of the page for a box that says "embedded" and copy the url.

on TF, go to user CP, edit signature, and paste the vid there.

Never done it, but that would be my guess.

currently no way to add a video to your signature i believe. you can put GIF's in your sig as long as they aren't too big in file size...

Yeah, videos in sigs is a no no. It would seriously slow down the forums to a crawl waiting for the other site to load the video to play each time someone opened a thread where you posted.

You can post GIFs as Josh stated, but nothing huge. The forums should remain speedy, and too many loading images slows down the threads.
