    Hi , can I ask some silly questions here? 

    How to add some messages under your text like signature or footage?
    how to @ to someone when I leave a comment?

    I did search on here, but couldn't find the answer. 

    Thanks in advance 

    If you click on the little head in the top right corner and click on' account and privacy settings', you then need to select 'signature settings'. You can enter your text and then save. Took me ages to figure it out too, even after someone explained it to me! x


    Hi @blubella

    Thank you for getting back to me.

    I found the 'signature settings' , it shows'I  don't permission to use a signature' ?  What kind of permission do I need :/

    I think the signature settings might become available once you've been a member for a while or posted a certain amount @Tianfeng2022. But don't quote me as I am not 100% sure.

    @Tianfeng2022 I just type in the box under where it says 'Images not allowed Signatures can be up to 500 characters long.'  Or it maybe like @Keedie says?
