@qualitygal Thank you so much, I thought I checked everything, but sometimes the " kitty " needs help. Thanks again.😺

It's better to have your signature line as 'italics'.
Reason: There's nothing more awkward than a confident, 'my opinion is my own' type of signature line when it's attached to a controversial type of post. Their comment takes on a while different meaning. Having the sig line in italics would eliminate any question...and it looks prettier. 😀

I agree with @sidsmom that it's really helpful to do something to distinguish your signature line from the body of your posts. It's an odd system deficiency (in my opinion) that this isn't done automatically by the forum software.
Here's some basic info about formatting the signature line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To italicize, precede the signature with <em> and end it with </em>.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want the signature in bold, precede it with <b> and add </b> at the end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want the signature in colors, precede the signature with
<font color="nameofcolor">
and fill in the color's actual name between those quotation marks.
Here's a link to all the "color names":

~~~~~~~~~~
As an example, my signature -- in my settings -- is:
<font color="black"><em>He drew a circle that shut me out. Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But Love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle that took him in. ~Markham </em></font>

What if you just want your ding dang signature to stay put? Every time I log off mine vanishes and I either do without it, or re-enter it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi, @Drythe! Are you sure you clicked "SAVE" after you added the siggy? Also, under Preferences-->Preference Options did you check "View signatures in posts" so you can see the siggies when you're logged in? Another thing... if you're using any of the HTML code there might be something amiss with that, so you might initially try a siggy without any code to see if it stays put.

I'm glad you recognize the issue by not customizing the signature line!
Story:
Wish I would remember the poster...but it wasn't too long ago.
There was a 'hot' topic & when they responded,
I read their sig line as part of the conversation.
I immediately had 'raised eyebrow' & thought 'maaaan, that was gutsy!!'
and yep, that post was immediately deleted. The poster came back
with a 'why did they delete my post?!!'...with the same sig line, but then understood what had happened! I felt bad for that particular poster, but hindsight, I understood why the mods deleted. Perfect storm, as you will.

Thank you. Yes - view siggy is checked
No HTML code at all
It stays on when I go back and add and save it. But once I log off it's gone until I add & save it again.
Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm sorry this is happening, @Drythe. How frustrating. Probably "captain obvious" here, but evidently something is clearing the entry in the signature field when you log out.
It would be good to know if this is a problem others have seen. I'll add a couple of the Q Social Team names in case they've heard of this or want to forward the problem to the IT support group.
