My signature is a lot of bytes, but on screen, it is only one line.

Not according to the CSS in your node to which I'm replying. That node has a "signature" of, well, the whole node.

Just to be clear, the start of your signature should be signified by <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-132236">, which is the very first thing in your node above.

You need to update your signature so that you don't start typing inside of those tags.

There probably needs to be some site changes to the whole pmsig tag situation.

Update: Here is a summary of nodes containing "nothing but .sig" according to the CSS tags (66 authors). See also Re^3: Add CSS class for signatures? (repatch).
