Quick Siggy Instructions To add a badge to your signature:
Must be on the site to make these changes
Click on the person silhouette ("Account Settings") on the right side of the TB, just below The Bump's page header.
Select "Preferences."
Select "Signature Settings" from the left side - blue font, under your profile picture.
Edit your signature to your liking just like you would a message in a thread
No need to test! Once you make your signature it will show up on all of your previous posts. All you need to do is check one of them.
When adding photos, click the little Polaroid-like button and paste the link location for the button/picture you want in the box that pops up. ★ If you skip this step and just paste the link into the signature box, the picture won't show up! ★
To Resize and Move: Move the little white squares on the corners and sides of the image (while it's selected). You can also drag the image into a different location in your siggy.
Check out this thread for info on how to search The Bump/the board for info (on computer or mobile!)
