I'm trying to use pictures in my signature connected to links, but every time I save it the entire code for picture disappears and the link doesn't show up anymore. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? This is the format I'm using

It works in messages but not in my signature.

That's the code, but without the required brackets.
