The Signature Generator (`/tools/signature`) helps you build a custom forum signature that shows beneath your posts. Setting a signature requires being logged in, and the feature must be enabled by your community.
+
### Creating a signature
−
### Two ways to build a signature
+
1. Go to `/tools/signature` or from **Account → Settings → Signature**.
+
2. Use the editor to add text, links, images, or emoji.
+
3. Preview the result in the panel on the right.
+
4. Click **Copy** to copy the Markdown to your clipboard.
+
5. Paste it into your signature field in **Account → Settings → Signature** and save.
−
The tool has two tabs:
−
−
- **Editor** — write a Markdown signature with a live preview that mirrors how it will look beneath a real post. Markdown is supported (bold, italic, email links, a divider). External links are stripped; email links work.
−
- **ASCII generator** — type some text and pick a figlet-style font to generate an ASCII banner. The result drops into the editor, where you can keep editing.
−
−
### Saving your signature
−
−
1. Go to `/tools/signature`, or open **Account → Settings → Signature**.
−
2. Build your signature in the Editor (optionally using the ASCII generator).
−
3. Check the live preview on the right.
−
4. Save. Your signature is stored on your profile and appears beneath your forum posts.
### Signature limits
+
Signatures support Markdown. Keep them concise — very long signatures may be truncated.
−
Signatures support Markdown and are capped at 500 characters. Keep them concise.
