    When you are logged in, you will see a circle to the top left of the page. Yours is currently showing a silhouette but you can replace it with an avatar if you wish. If you click on that, you get a drop-down menu including 'Your Profile' (that's the same page you get when you log in). Across the top of that it will say 'Welcome back, skippie' and to the right of that is a link to your settings.
    If you click through 'Your Settings', it takes you to a page with a menu down the left hand side, including 'Edit signature', which is the link you need to add the mfw info.
    Hope that helps. :)

    At the top of this page, on the green banner, is User CP - that stands for control panel, click it and there will be a side banner that says edit signature, that is what you need. It is a few less clicks than the way the other poster does it. You can add whatever you like to your signature. Good luck.
