Just go to www.mygamercard.net and insert your gamertag and then it will produce one for you to post in fourms or blogs.

Once you have copied the code from gamercard.net, come back to gamespot and click on "prefs" when that box opens, click on the forums tab then scroll down to where it says "use WYSIWYG editor" then paste your code there...

Go to mygamercard.net and put your gamertag in and then copy the URL it gives you in the Forum (image) tab. See below:

Then come back to Gamespot and click on the prefs button at the top. Go to the forums tab and scroll down to the WYSIWYG editor. Click on the insert/edit image button - it looks like a little tree and its to the left of the smiley face icon. See below:

Then in the box that comes up you need to copy the URL you got from mygamercard.net into where it says Image URL. In my case you can see from the first screenshot it would be http://card.mygamercard.net/stormtrooprdave.png so I would copy that into the Image URL box. See below:

Click insert, then apply changes. Hey presto your gamertag will show up in your forum posts. If you do it this way you dont have to mess around with IMG tags or bbcode or html, just copy the url into the box, dead simple.

i think using the url is really complicated, so try doing it the way i did it: 1. go to www.mygamercard.net like everyone else has said, and get your gamercard. 2. click on forums, and copy the last link (the BBcode) 3. come back to gamespot, click on "prefs" in your upper right hand corner, and then paste the code into the box entitled "my signature"
