In this box, this is where you create your signature. You can add whatever you like, as long as it abibes by the Signature Rules, as well as the Forum Rules (http://yaoi-haven.com/rules/).
We're going to make a simple signature, one with simple wording and just one picture.
Though it may just be a simple signature, there is a lot more to it then one would think.
Let's just put something cute into it. How about, something simple as, 'I love Yaoi-Haven'? Easy enough.
In the box, type : 'I love Yaoi-Haven.'

You can hit the Preview Signature button to see how your signature will look like.
Does it look pretty bland? You can always spice it up by using BBCode :

You can also add BBCoding to one another, to make something bold, a color, underlined, and so forth, all in one.
Adding an image to your signature :
www.tinypic.com / www.photobucket.com : The two main photo upload sites.
First, find an image you are wanting to add to your signature.
One of my favorite anime's is Durarara!! so, I'm going to take a photo from my collection and use it.
Let's go onto www.tinypic.com , hit the Choose Image button, search for your photo, hit the Upload Now! button, then wait till it uploads to the site.

Once the photo has uploaded, you get four options on the side of the image :

You want to copy and paste the IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards section and paste it into the Edit Signature Box.

- Making it left/center/right justified.
- Spoiler.
- A link to something else.
