    My company was using tinypic before but they went away.

    Just looking for a site we can use to put our business logo in our email signature.

    We found one, but it's $48/yr, and I think we should be able to find something cheaper or free for something this simple.

    Any ideas?

    Doesn’t your company’s email program have the ability to add a signature that doesn’t need a hosting site?

    Tried that. Used every link it allowed, including the Direct Link that was supposed to work. None did. They all just keep the link in the signature, which is worthless.

    Click into the link so the picture is displayed full screen, right click, copy image address.

    The problem isn’t imgur,,,it’s you. :) Seriously though, it just sounds like you’re doing it wrong.
    1. What email program are you using?
    2. Try searching for a How To Add Image to Signature...referencing your email program.
    3. btw: I assume you’re using the same image that you uploaded to tinypic, right?
    You can’t just add a “Direct Link” by pasting it into a signature box. Look for an Insert Image button, just like this bbs uses. (To support images, Email is sent as HMTL, so it needs to wrap an image link within IMG tags, just like how a website is built in HTML.)

    To see an example, search for “How to add an image to gmail signatures”. The option to use an image URL should be the same explanation as what your email program would describe.

    I figured it out. Turns out has an image icon in the sig settings. I just placed the imgur pic there.
