Sorry to make a new topic for this, but can you add an alternative text to images in your signature?  Alternate text is text that will appear in the event of the image not appearing.  This would be very helpful to let people know that my server is down.  

The image link to my server in my signature is hosted on my server.  If the server goes down, the image disappears (duh).  In place of that image is the text "User Posted Image".  I was wondering if invisionfree allows you to change that alternative text.  I would like to change it to something like "If you see this text, the server is currently down.  Please try again later."

Any help here?  ALT tags aren't working.

I believe the code is as so: [title="Alttext"]Visuals[/title]

At least, that's how I've seen it done elsewhere. Not sure why it doesn't work here.

Never heard of any BBCode on Invisionfree that supports Alt text. You could try and ask at their support forums.

You could try this since I know html works:

<img src="image" alt="Alt text here">
