I've visited uncyclopedia for a while and now that I'm a member I'm trying to figure out how to... make the little pictures or templates or whatever they are when I put my sig. I know it's { { User : DerangedDingo/sig } } and then four tildes, but how the little picture?? THE LITTLE PICTURES TAUNT ME!!! --DerangedDingo 04:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, I was looking through the dump for answers, and the forum New Sig Fad? just kills me more 'cause I have no clue what they're talking about! Being a newb sucks. --DerangedDingo 04:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Pictures are [[Image:Bill Nye.jpg|18px]] or [[Image:Icons-flag-il.png]] for flags (like or . Keep in mind that big pics are a no-no in sigs, and small pics are generally unrecognizable. When in doubt, just find a sig you like and see how they did it; most sigs are in [[User:"username"/sig]].

As for the "new sig fad", to get something like this    Sir Tooltroll, Esq. CUN • Eh? • Oh! • UnTunes! • I my cat! takes code like this:

Simple, init?--Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Very. That actually confused me a little, and seeing my name on that HowTo: page creeped me out, but, I shall learn.

SUCESS! -- DerangedDingo 06:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Not really. I got it, but now when the date and time comes afterwards, it comes in a box. THIS IS TOO HARD! -- DerangedDingo 08:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, that just means you forgot to close some of the HTML tags. Fixed now.  :) -- 21:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Muchos Gracias! I'll try and continue to.. perfect it, if you will, but thanks for the help everyone -- DerangedDingo 23:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I've got a quick question: How do I stop my sig from subst:ing? --Missingno. 22:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

You need to type in Missingno... into the preferences box (and check raw signatures). —Braydie at 22:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

That's what I keep doing, but it keeps adding SUBST: when I hit save changes. I remember there's some magic word, nosubst: or something like that, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. And nosubst: isn't it... --Missingno. 22:29, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that I forgot to do something. Right lets start over.

Type {{SUBST:nosubst|User:Missingno/sig}} into the box.. —Braydie at 22:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes, that was it. Thanks a ton. --Missingno... 22:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
