Help talk:How to fix your signature

Your suggestions aren't working
I just found out from another user that my signatures no longer have links. The same person introduced me to this page, and this was the first thing I read

If your signature is not working now (but was working previously), you will need to make some changes to your "my preferences" page.

The trouble is, I can't do anything in the my preferences page anymore. Also I started using the "Signature and timestamp" button in the toolbar, and it stopped working tonight. DanTD 01:31, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Help Please
I've been trying to get my signature ( Brakkis  ) to appear with the Abaddon font, but I can't get it to work for some reason. Can anyone help me out? --Brakkis (talk) 22:59, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

My signature breaks some templates
My signature, which I mainly use on websites in the Wikia system, is as follows:

Apparently, the vertical line ( | ) between the links to my talk page and my contributions page breaks some templates, because it's used not as part of a link, but rather just as an individual character. It was suggested I go into my preferences and change that vertical line to |, which I did, but when saving my preferences, it is automatically changed to , which still breaks the templates. Unless I go in and manually copy and paste my signature with the | in it, the signature messes up something. Is there a way to fix this in my preferences page so I can still use the ~ without breaking any kinds of templates? Schiffy ( Speak to me | What I've done ) 17:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You can try the HTML replacement for the pipe "&amp;#124;"
 * I hope you can get it working with that

 * I unfortunately have not used that before. I just need some help with the syntax in that regard. Schiffy  ( Speak to me | What I've done ) 17:44, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * you simply have to delete the pipe and add in the HTML replancement "&amp;#124;" (without the "").

 * Well, when I try that, "&amp;#124;" is showing up in my signature, and is not replaced by anything. This is the current status of said sig. Schiffy  ( Speak to me &amp;#124; What I've done ) 19:07, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * are you really using the &amp; sign and NOT its HTML replacement "&amp;amp"???
 * Regards,  M ' y ' 1  19:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm using it with the "amp;" added after the actual ampersand, followed by a "#124;" If I try just the ampersand followed by a "#124;", I get a warning saying my signature has an error. Schiffy  ( Speak to me &amp;#124; What I've done ) 20:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Your signature here has: ampersand, a, m, p, semicolon, hash sign, one, two, four, semicolon. What's wanted is: ampersand, hash sign, one, two, four, semicolon. This should display as &#124; -- John of Reading (talk) 20:45, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

but he already said that with the &amp; only that there ia an error

 * Now it's working, for some reason, actually. I don't know if the trouble was on my end or Wikia's end, but no matter, it works. Schiffy  ( Speak to me &#124; What I've done ) 21:05, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Only 256 characters?!!!
Goddamn please make it longer. I can't even place links to talk page. It is quickly runs out of available space. It is really frustrating.  DAVRONOV A.A. ✉ ⚑ 21:42, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
