Description EDIT4: okay I've been away for a few years and some things may have changed but, some additional information:

  • No you can't add images other than emotes to the comment signature
  • Sometimes custom emotes don't work and I don't know why  Tried to solve it once but it didn't work. Its a mystery 
  • I will likely not be updating this tutorial for whatever Eclipse happens to do to comment signatures. idek


  • EDIT2: Now featuring how to add community emotes to your comment signature
    Special thanks to Krissi001 for sharing the secret
    That text for anyone too lazy to type is
    EDIT3: Double check the above text against what's in the image; dA likes to mess with the description text

    Edit: added an extra section on what to do if you still cannot see your comment signature (or anyone else's)

    A tutorial on how to set your comment signature.

    I had trouble with this when I first started out, and I have seen many new deviants asking about it.

    There are probably plenty of these floating around, but for some I decided to make my own.

    I hope people find this helpful

    Not sure if this helps but have you tried putting in the id numbers in the emotes url instead of the thumb code, had the same issue when i tried to use the thumb code and it worked when i used the id numbers in the url

    a comment signature is just a random thing, most people just use them for little messages, like mine for example.
    some people also use them to give promotions to themselves via different page links??

    i dont know much about it, im just on this deviation to learn to add visible emojis and stuff to my signature

    On your profile page, there's a little arrow when you hover on the about section (where that bit appears), click that and a little menu pops up, click the edit button on that menu (little pencil), which then opens an edit menu, where that bit of text is called "tagline". Enter what you want then press save

    DeviBrigard In reply to melnebula [2018-04-02 01:13:48 +0000 UTC]

    That usually happens when the emote you're trying to use isn't in the emotes category

    I can see your comment signature, have you ticked the "show signatures" box in settings?
    Should also note that the comment signature doesn't show up in the message centre, only when you click through to see the comment on the deviation/forum page.

    Ulfeid3 In reply to DeviBrigard [2018-01-20 10:26:42 +0000 UTC]

    Yes, it's ticked that option! I've done many attempts and checked posts/deviations to see
    if the emoji pop ut in the signature, but does not work and every time I keep seeing only 
    thumb codes ç_ç

    DeviBrigard In reply to Ulfeid3 [2018-01-20 10:37:09 +0000 UTC]

    Which emote are you trying to use? They only work if they're submitted to the emoticons category. Someone was also having trouble with a specific one a while back which didn't work and we couldn't figure out why

    Ulfeid3 In reply to DeviBrigard [2018-01-21 10:58:07 +0000 UTC]

    I really didn’t check if the emote was submitted in the emoticons category! I’ll try to make new attempts and let you know Meanwhile, thank you so much.
