How to make my logo in signature lead to my site

Alright guys... So I really want this 
To be a link to my site in my signature. I don't know why this turned out so small also. I had an original but it doesn't seem to have a transparent background. Ugh, this is far more complicated than it should be. I'm sure it's super simple and I'm just retarded with coding. Thanks for any help in advance,

Weird
This example works,

Code:
[url=https://www.phpbb.com/][img]https://www.phpbb.com/theme/images/logos/blue/160x52.png[/img][/url]
but this doesn't

Code:
[url=https://www.phpbb.com/][img]https://www.shroomery.org/forums/thumbs/16-33/154815190-thumb_MallachtsLOGOwLINK.gif[/img][/url]
Can't tell why..

It seems to be;
If it is an externally hosted image, then it can be made into a link.
If it is a shroomery hosted thumbnail, it doesn't show, or be a clickable link.
If it is a shroomery hosted full size image, it just shows as an image usually does, an enlargable thumbnail, and isn't a clickable link.
So for example, using your websites hosted banner, this can be made into a clickable link to your site. Just a bit large

The workaround in this thread is a good solution, but technically this looks like a problem on our site. When you embed an image hosted on the Shroomery, we try to be all fancy and show a clickable thumbnail, but this shouldn't override or break any user-specified tags. Basically, the intention is to work as expected and this seems like a failure on our end. I'll see about getting it fixed.
Imgur embeds should work though, are you sure you're linking to the actual image and not the web page that also has comments and stuff? Eg. you'd want to use http://i.imgur.com/95BfMei.jpg, not http://imgur.com/gallery/Sh9gP.

Thank you Ythan for the prompt, courteous response!! 3rd party hosted images seem to be a simple and effective workaround, this works
