I have found a handy little tool that is suppose to help with spam. It will turn your email address into an image file. The site is services.nexodyne.com/email. "It says if you post in a forum, use the image instead of text. Spammers use automated programs to scour the web for email address. The software can't read image files. But people who want to contact you will be able to read it." You just type in your user name, select a email provider and click Generate. It gives you a picture that displays your address and generates a link to the address.
My question is: how do I do this on this site?

1. Copy the URL that they provide you after "To display this image elsewhere, use the URL:"

2. Go to your User CP here at Gotta Pixel and edit your signature.

3. Click the image button and paste in the URL that you got from #1. Save your signature.

However, because of their TOU, it requires you to link back to them, and we don't allow this in signatures. My best suggestion is to create your own button with your email address in it and use that instead.
