How do you make signatures with colors and talkboxes? MusaGirl28 21:48, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Any normal wikitext can be your signature. The easiest way to make one would be to fiddle around on a userpage until you get something you like (use the show perview button to see it) - and then paste that code into your preferences, click the custom signature button, and you're done --  Random Time  21:53, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you see a signature that you like, you could copy it into a sandbox and then adapt it to your own needs and tastes. Then, as Randomtime said, cut and paste the result into your preferences. Alternatively, you might take a look at User:Monchoman45/SigReal for detailed instructions on creating one of the more common signature styles around Wikia. It’s attractive and quite functional. Good luck! — Spike Toronto  23:29, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok but how to I change the colors? 17:27,7/19/2011


 * Colors are usually given by Hex codes. For example, SpikeToronto uses the following code in a signature:
 * Change the number in the color=" " part to change the color. Gardimuer { ʈalk } 03:35, July 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Note that the HTML tag is deprecated, you can better use  - Tjcool007 (Talk) 18:56, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

I did switch the    tags to     tags, but I discovered that some templates in which the sig was inserted (by me or by the template itself) would break. So, I put it back to    tags. — Spike Toronto  07:54, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

I can design one for you, if you'd like! 23:52, September 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to balance the situation: I have been using   since July 21, 2010 and have had no problems. 10:08, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * You’ve probably not used the same templates and thus not had them break! ;) — Spike Toronto  10:18, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
