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

    Its just an extra bit of personalisation.
    Most people use it to say something amusing, or to give a link to other places such as a Youtube channel or an online portfolio with every comment.
    Sometimes it is more amusing to read all the comment signatures in a conversation than the actual comments.

    Alright, try going to settings > browsing, scroll down to comments and make sure that the "show signatures" box is ticked then press save.

    DeviBrigard In reply to Jeky-kun [2013-09-30 02:51:50 +0000 UTC]

    With the recent update to the comments system, you can now add images from the Emotes category to your comment signature.  I have just added the details to the tutorial.

    this is useful.  too bad that one can't add avatar icon image into the comment signature.

    I'm afraid the closest to images you can add are the deviantArt emoticons ( [link] )
    or ASCII art (something like this, but within the character limits [link] )
