in reply to Check your signature (Signatures mistaken for content)

Answer: Change your CSS (either in your browser or on user settings). Look at the html of a page, and you'll notice that some busy goblin has neatly added "pmsig" classes to everyones signatures. So all you need to do is make your CSS display these differently, and presto: recognisable signatures.

    Is there an example of how to add a CSS for the signature? I tried the following in the "On-Site CSS Markup" field of User Settings: 

    <style type="text/css">
.pmsig {
  font: lucida;
  font-size: small;
  font-decoration: italic 
  color: pink
}
</style>

    With no luck. I haven't worked with CSS very much.

    Any assistance would be appreciated!

      There are two issues here.
      1. The sig tag is wrapped in <div class="pmsig">, so the selector should be div.pmsig
      2. Your browser will silently ignore broken css, making it hard to debug - see the (untested) edits below

      /* perlmonks will add style tags for you */
div.pmsig {
 font-family: lucida;
 font-size: small;
 font-style: italic;
 color: pink;
}
