You can't use Rubberslug to host the image like that. You'll need to use a
site that is a dedicated host for hotlinking images, like imageshack or photobucket.

Here's a sample of the code you should place in your signature...
(I've added * to prevent the forum from converting the code)

[*url=URL of your website][*img]URL location of your image[/img][/url]

Let me know if that didn't make sense. Zetsuai is right, the image has
to end with the proper extension. RS places masks on images to prevent
hotlinking, which is why it doesn't end in a standard image extension.
Having an image in your sig is hotlinking, which basically runs up the
bandwidth for the hosting site.

A funny aside, the thumbnails are not masked on RS. Only the main image.
Probably just an oversight.

Let me know if you need any further assistance.

I can do use Rubberslug to host the image like that if I want to. I am having a blast.
