I was wondering how you can edit your signatures. I've searched the preferences loads. --T-Roooy 17:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

This should tell you what you need to know. Or just copy someone else's you like the look of. Not mine though! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 18:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

You can copy mine if you want... -- Hindleyite 18:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Frankly Hindleyite, and I'm just saying this because the other users here are too polite to, your signature is kind of garish. We're wondering if you could turn it down a bit; it's on nine, we need it on three or so. It's not that we find it too bright and ostentatious, it's just that we think it makes the rest of our sigs look drab and, um, drab by comparison.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:32, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Plus the blue sticks out in an annoying way on wikis.--The One and Only Czar Yah 20:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh no, finally the truth emerges... Modus is actually Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen! -- Hindleyite 20:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Shush! If people found out that I was me, it would positively ruin my reputation!--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I just used the template and five tides in the past. Let's see how it works now. Crazyswordsman the Mediocre - (bite me/I'm not that bad) Click here for hot pr0n! BENSON IS BETTER THAN YOU!! 22:39, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Acctaully, it appears that a whole bunch of users stole thier sig from me. So you could give that one a try. Its a load of code though. --Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 23:21, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

And I'm slowly starting on the warpath to obliterate overly-long/visually distracting sigs. Just in case anyone wants to preempt my inevitable visit to their talk page. Sir Famine, Gun ♣ Petition » 02:27, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't the obliteration of Smiddles signature enough for you?--Witt, of UNion Entertain me* 04:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't forget to hold people to the 12px max image height in sigs rule. --Sir gwax (talk) 13:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot everyone!--• T to the Roooy • Proud to be Say 'Hi!' 18:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Ooookay, what happened there? Why's my time in a box? --• T to the Roooy • Proud to be Say 'Hi!' 18:40, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Isra1337 magiked it up for you...try it now. If it works give him a hug. Or a cookie. Isra's a fan of both.--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. looks like I failed, but generally when there is this problem it is from some sort of unclosed tag. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 03:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I think all the tags are closed. How do you make that box anyway?--• T to the Roooy • Proud to be Say 'Hi!' 16:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

If there's a space at the beginning of a line, it goes all boxy-like:

Tada!

Dunno why it's doing it in your case. Did you try turning it off and on? (Wups, tech support slipped in there for a second)--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Touch wood... I think it's working... YEAHHH!! Now, Spang, may I use your dots in my name?--• T to the Roooy • Proud to be Say 'Hi!' 17:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

My one unique sig-feature nobody else has! Nooooooooo!!! Well I suppose you can. The licence fee is only £120 per year, and can be paid is easy monthly installments. Terms and conditions apply. Your soul may be reposessed if you do not keep up repayments on any characters secured on it. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Pweez? These ones are too small =( --• T to the Roooy • Proud to be Say 'Hi!' 18:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Just a note, we try to discourage really long or distracting sigs. The guideline I use is that a sig shouldn't be longer that two datestamps. There are lots of people breaking this rule, but I'd encourage people not to if they can. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 21:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I know, I'm glad that uncyc actually allows images/external links and the like here, but do the administrators really need to enforce this? I mean, I think it's really petty to bother over such a rule, unless someone puts an omfg huge image or design in their sig or makes it 3 lines long, then you admins should not have to bother, especially with other things to bother with, and not every user decides to make it big or long, take Todd, or Zork Implementer L for example.--Witt, of UNion Entertain me* 06:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not going to enforce it unless it's really really really bad, but I am going to guilt trip people. Note: your sig does pass my test. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 07:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm suprised you didn't try to steal Ghelæ's sig. --The Acceptable  Cainad  (Fnord) 03:31, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, sort of like what I did. --General Insineratehymn 16:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

As did Vosnul, and Roger The Bum (well, a part of his full sig is/was partially based on it), and... ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 06:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
