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

    You can only add images from the emoticons category to comment signatures. Since that images is in Scraps, it will not work.

    They do work in the comment signature
    (well, I have tested the i tag)

    Or were you requesting they be added to the tutorial?

    NIGHTSANDSONIC In reply to DeviBrigard [2015-05-13 01:29:51 +0000 UTC]

    well I got it done but is it supposed to show up on the original reply?

    DeviBrigard In reply to NIGHTSANDSONIC [2015-05-13 01:38:22 +0000 UTC]

    If you mean in the message center, it is a bit weird. It will not show on comments or replies, but will show in the "Original" box. They specifically added it there a few years back, but I don't really know why.

    NIGHTSANDSONIC In reply to DeviBrigard [2015-05-13 02:01:22 +0000 UTC]

    hmm what do you mean by that?

    DeviBrigard In reply to NIGHTSANDSONIC [2015-05-13 02:06:25 +0000 UTC]

    When you see a message in your message center, it will not have the signature on it.
    But when you press the "Original" button on a reply, the comment shown has the signature on it.

    NIGHTSANDSONIC In reply to DeviBrigard [2015-05-13 02:07:45 +0000 UTC]

    hmm that's weird. Does it show up for everyone who has comment signatures?

    DeviBrigard In reply to NIGHTSANDSONIC [2015-05-13 02:12:16 +0000 UTC]

    the comment shown with the "original" button is only ever my own

    If you're not seeing signatures where you think you should, double check you have the "show signatures" box checked (frame 4 of the tutorial)

    That may indicate that the image you are trying to insert is not in the emoticon category.
