HI peoples hopefully more knowledgable about computers than me,

I am trying to make a signature that will show up on the bottom of my posts. But, it says "Type your signature with HTML coding".

I have no idea what HTML coding is, nor do I know what to do.

I want my signature to be "If life gives you poop.........make poop juice."

Could someone please let me know what to type in?

Thanks A Lot!!

Merry Christmas!

Forget HTML, just type what you want to see.

Thanks for the reply. Hmmm...I must be doing some thing else wrong then, because that is what I, but it still will not show up.

Save changes?
Check "Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile)"?

HTML won't work for the signature, use BBCode instead.

I don't know what BBCode is, but if you want to learn anything HTML is alright, although I've found I had to implement CSS with it in order to get it to my liking. I'd try going with a strict programming language like XHTML in order to better grasp the fundamentals of coding a site.

:-Z~

I am having the same problem with my signature. I have tried all the suggestions. ???
edit: Oh, it works now! Hmmm... :lol:
edit: What I found out is when I go to post my message, I must make sure the Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) box below the message box is checked. Do'h! :lol: :lol:
