always read terms and rules of forum, otherwise you will bane by mod,

forum is best way for getting backlink,
its not only for their purpose, you get latest update from other member from around the world and also discuss your problem with other member...

so just follow rules and increase backlink and knowledge...

An external image SRC is not a link HREF. The link associated with the Avatar points to the member profile.

The second post offers better advice.

Ya i know it points to members profile but also if u check the source of the image u will see its linking to the website from where is linked

that is why i thought that google will catch it as backlink also

thank you for sharing this link, i think the best seo strategies in forums is not to spam and you must answer the post in at least two sentences. you need to use your keywords as your signature

One might want to check three things first if one is to use forums in link building:
- the robots.txt of the forum
- the meta robot in the head section
- the rel attribute in the signature link
