You go to 'Edit Profile' and there's a box to the left with a list that includes something like "Edit Signature" - that then enables you to update your sig.file.
If I've just done it correctly, moments ago, then this post should include my 2023 coupons
EDIT TO ADD: yes, it does but it's crammed everything together into one paragraph when I had it spaced out in lines, hmmm...
Anyway, you definitely can add text and paragraphs...
ETA again: it's 'Signature Settings' you click on, in 'Edit Profile'
When I return to that, it persists in showing me the old pre-just-now sig to edit... definitely a bit weird...2025 remaining: 37 coupons from 66:
January (29): winter boots, green trainers, canvas swimming-shoes (15); t-shirt x2 (8); 3m cotton twill (6);
.
2025 second-hand acquisitions (no coupons): None thus far
.
2025 needlework- *Reverse-couponing*:11 coupons :
January: teddybear-lined velvet jacket (11) & hat (0); velvet sleep-mask (0);2 -

Even weirder: a half-written post - which I completed and posted yesterday - keeps reappearing in the comment/reply box.

btw, in 2023, as well as attempting to keep on top of listing my Coupons when I buy any new clothing, footwear, fabric or yarn, I shall also be trying to list fabric and yarn for things I make from what I already have, to see if I can use up 66 coupons'; worth of materials!
I intended to do it last year but then forgot...

Question - I have a BIG collection of fabric/yarn/craft stuff - I am wondering if anyone on here has a similar problem and what you do if you no longer fancy the stuff in your stash - do you sell it, give it away or is there possibly an option to swap with like minded individuals and if you did, would it count towards coupons?
Well lets see - I dip in and out of MSE all the time but I still come back - have done since 2007!!!

@wit40iwtwan I’m in the same boat, I’m going to be going through most of what I have into a keep pile, a make something for donation pile, a donation pile and the fabric/yarn I know I can sell, I’ll sell. I have a lot of hand dyed yarn, so it’s going to be difficult to find out whether anyone wants that or now, so I’ll probably end up making blankets for our MSPCA charity.Frugal Living Challenge 2023

@wit40iwtwan and @Landgirlinthelittlecity - we spent part of the days after Xmas tackling my escaped fabric and although not yet newly catalogued, there is basically just shameful quantities, and of yarn too.
I;m trying this year to use it up to the tune of 66 coupons - maybe that might help you two use up yours?2025 remaining: 37 coupons from 66:
