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

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

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?

Remember to include the http:// or https:// before the www. in the long link

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.
