1. Save image as PNG, or whatever image type, not XCF
2. Upload to image sharing site, I use ImageShack
3. Then Copy the Direct Link
4. Come to GIMP Chat
5. Make a new Post
6. Either Click the Little Picture, and then paste the Direct link, or type

7. Preview, and make sure Image Shows
8. If it works Enjoy, if not ask more questions

Thank You! This really cleared things up!

No Problem

I would resize your image a bit, so that it can remove the Image Resized around it
Also very cool Design, I would love to see the Text not Transparent, but with like a Spray Paint Color on it

user control panel/profile/edit signature.
You can then press this button

The image will automatically be added to your signature.
Be advised signature images as well as avatar images are subject to certain sizes.
