Heya all, took me a while to get my head around this although now it seems easy. Thought I would share what I learnt to help others get their own statistics signature sorted out.
First head over to 2142 Stats (http://www.2142-stats.com) and Register an account using the top right button.
The next step is to add your solider to your account. They have a graphical guide for that here (http://forums.2142-stats.com/2142-stats.com+sigs/How+to+add+your+Soldier+%5BTutorial%5D+thread+5757 .html) on the 2142 stats site.
The final bit is to pick your signature image. This is the bit that lost me at first.
Login and then click your soldiers name on the left hand menu in the block entitled "Your Players". If it's not listed there then click the top right Control Panel link and then your soliders name under the Soldiers section.
You should now be on the Stats Overview page. If you look along the tabs one of them says "Signatures". Thats the one you're after.
The first page will show you the top 3 most downloaded sigs and the top 3 most popular. If you click categories then you can pick a subcategory and view a bunch of other sigs. The previews will have other peoples stats on them, don't worry about that for now.
Once you have one you like click on it to see a version of it with your own stats. That page will show you the BB (forum) code to use as well as the HTML code.
Copy the BB code into your forums signature box and you should now find you have your very own statistics signature.
It should be noted that you have to wait for your stats to be updated, it's not an instant process. They explain it here (http://www.2142-stats.com/article/FAQ/How+can+I+see+my+stats%3F.html). You might want to hold off on using your custom sig until your stats have been updated at least once. You can login to the site and manually check your stats to see when that happens.
A problem I had with the second forum I tried to use this on was that when I saved my signature it replaced the + symbols in the image path with %20. Thats the hex for a space symbol as an url encoded path uses + as a space. Anyhow, to solve that is just a matter of changing %20 to %2B which is hex for a + symbol. That's it. Then the sig should work.
