I haven't seen many people using this feature so I created a guide to doing this.
By the way, signatures are only visible on desktop, and when a phone is in landscape.
Step 1: At the top right corner of the Desktop Webpage, click on your username. If on mobile, tap on your profile picture, which is next to the Bay Area Reefers logo along the top.
Step 2: Near the bottom of the drop down, there should be a link labelled "Signature". Click or tap into this.

Step 2.5: Here, there should be a text box in which you can add and edit a signature, to be displayed whenever you post. Customize this!
Step 3: For some reason, drag-and-drop for image files does not work when trying to attach images to the signature. However, by selecting the Image icon at the top of the text box, you open a text box, which can receive a URL.

Step 4: To turn your image into a URL, we will now take a detour away from the BAR website. You may upload your image to any of the plethora of image-hosting websites on the internet, but because it's free, maintains decent image quality, and is convenient to me personally, I sent the image as a text message in the Discord app. I then right-clicked on the image and selected "Copy Link".
Most other image-hosting websites have an option to copy a link to embed media.
Step 5: Once your link is copied, return to the BAR website and paste the link into the small text box. The image should show up as a resizeable picture. You're done!
Note: Please do not add an image that is large, obnoxious, or distracting (moving / flashing colors). Just because the website lets you make an image super big, does not mean you should! Keep in mind, this image will be displayed on every message you post, so can take up lots of room that people now need to scroll by. Keep it small: a picture of your tank, favorite coral, etc.
