Can anyone help or remove it please?

It appears the puffin image you show in your signature is a photobucket image with the following address:
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r30/ ... puffin.gif" target="_blank" target="_blank
and the reason that your are seeing the PB image is because PB user 'prophet_o_peace' has not decided to pay $40 a month to share images over the web.
If you go to this page:
http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/pro ... fin&page=1 and save the image on to your computer, you could then upload the image to a different host and stick the new address into your signature. I leave the copyright issues to your conscience.
Hope this helps a little.
Richard.

Thanks Richard,
I've decided that sadly the Puffin had to go!
He's flown free again.
I'm not paying for something I've had for 'free' for so long nor am I going to copy it and run the risk of copyright issues.
I was given this by one of our previous members 'Coffee-freak' many years back.
Sad to see him go, but at least my Avatar is something created by D/H!
Again, thanks for the clear explanation.

It is so sad. I loved the puffin. So I googled "free Puffin clipart" and there are some wonderful, classic and funny and loving images on web sites that will let you download for free. Don't know if any are animated, but it would be worth taking a look. I would have sent you one, but there were way too many to choose from.
Same problem has happened over on the HAED BB. They had a direct link to Photobucket and now the site is filled with that awful block. I told them to check out PostImage. I would think. Posts they are starting to refer to bozo-bucket.

Thanks Carole, I'll have a look when I have a bit of surfing time spare.
