Problem with footer?

Hi all, im trying to get a footer picture working and cannot for the life of me figure it out ??

I have read the threads on how to do it and followed advice given in the sticky thread on this subject which was to use this code:

[img="http://www.MYURL.com/THEIMAGE.png height=40 width=300"][/img]

And yet it just will not work, i have read that you need to enable VBcode on your profile but cannot figure out where this is, can someone please help as my brain seems to have given up on this one ???
