Signature Generator

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.

Two ways to build a signature

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 and are capped at 500 characters. Keep them concise.
