When you start a post at the very top of your box there are all the options i.e. font sizes, bold italicize, underline, color options, etc

@smoochy wants to change her SIGNATURE LINE, not the text of her message...

@smoochy Sorry if I gave you the incorrect info. I guess I misunderstood you. I'm sure some other poster will help you out.

Hi @spabar,

I'd like to change my signature line color and font too. I understand how to get to your signature line and put one in but I don't see any where to change these things and I'm not sure what you mean by " some communities let you use HTML in your signature"

Also I did rewrite my signature in word using different colors and fonts but when I copied and pasted into the place to put it it all changed back.

Sorry, I'm computer illiterate!

😊 @smoochy, @rms1954, @Desertdi,

@spabar, @GingerHead 😊

Here's some siggy "how to" I've been sharing for years... might be of use to repeat in case some posters aren't sure "how to".

To add a siggy, on the left side of the Community under "Quick links" choose "My Settings" or "Edit my preferences."

Look under "Personal" and under that "Personal Information." (This screenshot is old so it displays my older siggy.)

______________________________________________

If you want to help the siggy stand out, there are many formatting options.

To italicize, precede the signature with and end it with .

If you want the signature in bold, precede it with and add at the end.

If you want to be creative with the siggy and add color, this is a copy of the instructions I've been posting since we moved to the new platform:

Precede the signature with

but don't use "nameofcolor" literally... fill in the color's actual name between those quotation marks.

You can end with but actually the system will fill that in for you.

Copy and paste this

in your browser to see all the color names and codes

(this is not a live link --

live links are not permitted on the Community --

so you can't click/tap it to navigate there):

"w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp"

As an example,

here's how I typed my current siggy with HTML code

(I chose to make it a cadet blue, bold, and italicized).:

woo hoo got it 👍

Re: How do you

GingerHead — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 22:56:37 GMT

@dooBdoo Wow, is that ever complicated! I would've never in a million years figured that out. haha

Thanks so much! I'll try it out tomorrow morning after I've had a couple shots of caffeine.

@smoochy and @GingerHead, You're welcome!☺️

@smoochy, You did great! But then, I knew you would!❤️

@GingerHead, I've spent my life working in IT with code, computers, etc., so sometimes what comes fairly easily to me (and other posters with a similar background) might look awfully complicated.... but I hope it's really not quite so complex looking at it in steps.🌻

I tried to break it down in those separate steps, and I think (I hope!😘) after you do it one time you'll see it's not too bad.

I know you can do it!❤️ (btw: If you like someone else's siggy you always could ask them for a copy of what's in their settings and then you could substitute any quote, color, etc., you'd like to use.)

Just give a shout if you have problems and someone here will help out -- we have a great group of posters always willing to lend a hand.😊

@dooBdoo you are awesome to help us with this. 🥰

Re: How do you

spabar — Sun, 09 Mar 2025 08:01:59 GMT

@dooBdoo - thanks for the refresher. I did my siggy so long ago that any html knowledge I once had is a distant memory. 😂
