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

    As far as I am aware, it just needs to be in the customisation>emoticons  category for it to work.

    DeviBrigard In reply to otaku4242 [2015-02-13 22:41:05 +0000 UTC]

    The problem is that the image you have selected is in the category customisation>icons. Signatures may only include images from customisation>emoticons .

    Frozenmudcrab In reply to otaku4242 [2015-02-13 22:29:09 +0000 UTC]

    Maybe because it's not an emoticon but an avatar?
    Also, I wouldn't like to have my avatar in somebody's else signature... please.
    Not that I'm greedy, but I did it for myself some while ago and grew attached to it.

    Interesting, I've not seen that before. Could you send me the emote you're trying to use, so I may attempt to recreate the error?

    Interesting... when you press save, do you get the "changes saves successfully" message? Or perhaps some kind of error message?
