Forum:Signature Problem

Hello everyone! I was hoping one of you could help me with a question I had about my signature. The problem is, whenever I type it, after the (UTC) part, which is supposed to end the timestamp on all the other ones, it adds my user name onto it again, except it's not linked. I have to keep going back and getting rid of the extra "Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan." (See how I signed it at the end of the message for a visual) Is this common, because other user's sigs don't appear like that. Can you help me? That would help me so much! Thank you!!!!! :)

PS: This is an issue on all Wiki's I visit. My browser is WOW!, but I use Google. Thanks again! :)


 * Your sig code is a mess. In order to fix this we are going to need the code in your preferences. Also, make sure you are only signing with four tildes, I believe anymore than 4 adds your name twice.--


 * Three tildes is your name, four tildes is your name and timestamp, five tildes is just a timestamp. Per Godisme, this will require the code in your preferences, as using seven tildes (four for the regular sig, and three more for an extra user name) would evaluate to a timestamp with two tildes after it.
 * I'm sorry; I'm not real big on tech-talk, but what code in my preferences would we be referring to, and how would I get it? Sorry again, not big on tech talk!!! =)

 * Go to this page: Special:Preferences. There is a section a bit bellow on the page for Signature; in there make sure you have the Custom signature active; what we need to know is what text you have put in the field called Signature:.

 * Okay, I checked the Custom signature box, so now it's active. That might've been one of the problems, but I thought it was doing that even with the custom signature box checked. I typed in this in the field that says Signature: <---Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan--->
 * I hope that helps you figure out the problem.

 * PS: I saved my preferences, but I had to uncheck the Custom signature box because it said something about checking the HTML because of a raw signature or something....

 * There's your problem.
 * It said something about something.
 * &lt;---Tsu&#39;tey te Rongloa Ateyitan---&gt; 23:44, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you want it to work, you have to start by putting the signature in a template (something like User:tey te Rongloa Ateyitan/signature) then you check the box Custom signature and in the field you put.
 * For some reason I have in my signature field and in that page I have  and that's where I have the signature.

 * Okay, I think I get what you're saying. I have had problems in the past with my signatures and the whole template thing, so if I need help, I'll come to you. Thanks! :)

 * Yeah, um...I'm having a little trouble with that. Can you help me out? First of all, how do I make a signature template page? And try and break it down - I'm not real good with Wikia tech-talk. :) Sorry about that, and thanks! :)

Wait, who are you talking to, Nidek? I won't be offended if you were talking to me, but I was just curious. Also, I still cannot figure the freaking thing out!!! Let's start simple - how do you create a template page for signatures? :) Thanks!
 * Ah, found it! It's better than using my own words and testing to make sure everything is right: User:Godisme/Sig2
 * But maybe if it were me I wouldn't go wasting time on signatures, seeing you have so much to learn/do. :p

Hey, I figured out the problem! I accidentally typed the four tildes for my sig and nothing else and my sig came out perfect!!! :) Thanks for your help, guys!
 * Follow the instructions User:Godisme/Sig2.--
