I have all of the "optional but recommended" options in my sig, and it both works and displays correctly. Sometimes, even after 7 hours or even after a day, the sig may display your previous one. There are times when it reverts back to your old one as well after it has shown your new one. Often, pressing ctrl + F5 doesn't work, and it just takes time... like waiting a day or two. Then it displays the signature as you see it in the preview on your profile page.

<p>I use a slightly different way, which IMO works a bit better:</p><p><?php</p><p>  $typ = Array("Image/JPEG", "Image/JPEG", "Image/JPEG", "Image/JPEG", "Image/PNG", "Image/PNG");  $rot = Array("andriella.sig.jpg","andriella.sig.jpg", "Lunarwrit.jpg", "Arddin-Bellerose-sig.png");  $r = mt_rand(0, count($rot) - 1);  header("Cache-Control: no-cache");  header("Content-Type: $typ[$r]");  header("Expires: 0");</p><p>  echo implode("", file($rot[$r]));?></p><p> The only downside to this one is that you need to know the MIME type.</p>
