You can upload a DP directly from your device, or from Gravatar. It is recommended you use a picture which is at least 400x400px.
You can use a picture or a gif. MAXIMUM SIZE IS 2MB. If your gif DP doesn't work, it means it has too many frames and you need to cut some.

After clicking Continue, this should appear, please write what you desire to be in a spoiler where it says INSERT TEXT HERE. Complete the rest of your post and then click POST as normal.
INLINE SPOILERS
If you only want to put a spoiler on a specific work or phrase, but want the rest the text to show up as normal, there is the option to use inline spoilers. This will allow you to display text inline among normal content which hides text that may contain spoilers and must be clicked by the viewer to be seen.
To use this option just use the bbcode [ISPOILER][/ISPOILER] in between the words or text you want to hide.
EXAMPLE: I want to hide this specific phrase in this text.
The correct code for this would be: I want to [ISPOILER] hide this specific phrase[/ISPOILER] in this text.

I can't even get signature to open. If I come in through anyway but typing the site into the browser more things don't work, so I can't save it to just click in. It seems clear that this site wasn't designed for anyone who is on the phone. I even tried connecting a mouse to the phone, it didn't help. I have no computer and am unlikely to get one. Unlucky me.

For the DP it needs to be resized down as max file size is 2MB and it's over 6MB. I resized it down to a smaller size, so now it's only over 1MB. Try again with this gif and see if it works.
I'll check into adding sigs on mobile now, will get back to you after testing it.

GuestIt looks like it did upload though, will check into why it's sending back errors despite that. As for a sig, I removed mine and then re-added it via my phone using the mobile version of the website. After clicking the image icon, paste the URL and hit insert. The image will need to end in .jpg, .gif, etc.

GuestI have an iPhone so I can't really test that browser. I would suggest trying Google Chrome possibly, or alternatively, this would take longer but it should work:

It seems to work but is very inconvenient. I haven't seen the sig yet. I will work on it.
