~ Simple tip for italicizing your signature ~

dooBdoo — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 00:27:26 GMT

I'm no expert at using this new forum, so maybe I missed it... but I don't believe the settings or the display allow the user signature to be separated from the body of the response. As a result, it appears we're adding those words to our reply each time, and that might be misleading (or might just look a little strange ).

For those who want to add a signature, just go into "My Settings." Then under "Personal Profile" click on "Personal Information."

This system allows HTML tags. So, if you want italics, preface the siggy with

< em >

WITHOUT the space before and after "em."

I have to add the spaces to be able to show you the code... without them, my text will convert to italics and the code won't display.

But if you don't remove the spaces, the code won't work in the signature line.

hth! That's probably as clear as mud. I know, it's a small thing, but on some days simple pleasures are good!

Hey dooB - Sunny was looking, in her thread here on this forum, for how to make a siggie line. I couldn't find it. Maybe you could help.

I actually have them turned off, though. So maybe that's why I can't find the setting. I kind of like less clutter and it seems like the siggie lines mix in with the posts more now.

it's nice to have that choice. If we had the choice to turn them off, before, I never saw that.

Hey, @chickenbutt!

If I locate @sunala's question (a big "if" today!), I'll copy and paste these instructions. Or maybe someone else will, if they see the question asked.

That's a great tip. Thank you.

Too bad QVC didn't do us the courtesy of being as gracious with its information.

You're welcome, @NycVixen, @GingerPeach, @Himi lover, and @cancun08!

A small thing, but every little bit probably helps.

Moving this up in case it's helpful (sorry, I'm not usually into doing this, but the gamer threads are flooding the Community Chat forum and this is the only recourse we have at present).

Thank you dbd for your help with this.

A big thank you to chickenbutt and you for helping me navigate this hot mess! I am not computer savvy at all, so this is a nightmare for me. I have read both your suggestions and tips, and they have helped me very much.

Let's see if I did it right. This is a test.

It looks like it worked but I think I'll add some asteriks because it still looks like it's part of the message. Thanks for the info. Gail
