Like this:
[img*]url here[/*img] and delete the *
I would screenshot it for you but I turned off my laptop

That must be it, sometimes it says copy direct link. I'm not sure of exact words cause I'm french and so is my computer ahah
It should end in .gif though!

Upload it on imgur (or another image host but this is the one I use) then right click and copy URL

Did you copy the URL into [ img] codes like I mentioned?

hiiii! so what's going on in your acnl life?

you're welcome, happy to help ^^

okay ^^ one last thing I can say is don't hesitate to look up tutorials if you need to learn a specific technique, even something basic, google is your friend!

hi- sorry i missed you! i was multitasking and i had the forum open, which was why it might have looked like i was online :')

- here's a link to the villager pixels: http://mischacrossing.com/post/149700861580/animal-crossing-pixel-masterpost
- for animation, I honestly couldn't explain it myself because it can be a little complicated, but there's a ton of tutorials on the internet for beginners - searching for something like "how to animate in photoshop" would help you a lot (it's how I learned)
- finally, signatures are uploaded on "settings" on the top of the page. click edit signature, that's where you'd upload it! don't mind the "upload signature" options that are under the box, they won't allow you to keep the signature in its right size or animated. Once you have your signature, you can upload to http://imgur.com/ , copy the URL link, and paste it in a HTML code like this: [img*] url of your sig here [/img*] (without the *, obviously)
I hope that all helps ^^ let me know if you need me to clarify some things or take screenshots for more details

okay!
before I start I just want to mention that some people (myself included) have shops in the museum shop section of the forums where you can buy custom made signatures ^^
that said,
- first of all the maximum size for signatures allowed on the forums is 715x250 pixels. You don't have to have one thig big (most people don't), and keep in mind that if you want to add written text under your signature, the image itself will have to be less than 250px high.
- I don't use brushes on my signatures, instead I use shapes that I find mostly on google images or deviantart. sometimes they're regular like a circle or rectangle or such, for most custom ones I would type something like "flower silhouette", and use a transparent image as a base for my signature. Over this I would add a layer with a background (clipping the layer) and then add text, villagers, etc.

I can help with general things, yeah! it would me if I knew what you can do and what you need help for

I use photoshop. If you have that program I can answer some questions you might have

Order is ready, pick up or drop off?
