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

    dA may be trying to treat it like a thumbnail when you put it straight into a comment

    thank you so much!
    it only works in this kind of customization/chat friendly emoticons, or does with other emoticon categories as well?

    User-made emoticons must be in the Emoticons category for it to work. Inbuilt DeviantArt emoticons, such as can just be entered normally ( :la: ).

    Looks like you've figured it out~
    You can also use the format test to get a link that doesn't show the url, like test

    can you add the dev command to your signature? how?

    DeviBrigard In reply to bbroxi [2017-02-01 02:14:06 +0000 UTC]

    Dev codes do work, just type it in like :devDeviBrigard: to get DeviBrigard
    The icon equivalent, such as :iconDeviBrigard: for does NOT work in comment signatures.

    I feel dumb asking this, but say I wanted to put a link to my facebook page in my signature, but I didn't want the whole link. Like if I just have 'facebook' and when people click it, it takes them to my page, how do you do that?

    I'm supposing colors can't be added to the sig can they?

    DeviBrigard In reply to GamerDruid [2016-08-17 00:03:41 +0000 UTC]

    Would not imagine so, given that they can't within the body of a comment. Only takes basic markup like bolding and italics.

    Groups cannot comment, so do not have a comment signature.
