For the third time, please fix your signature. Meters (talk) 23:01, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

I do apologize. However, I am unsure of where to go, as I was trying to look it up on how to change the signature and I just can't seem to find where to go. If you could direct me to the place to alter my signature, I would be most appreciative. Gongfong2021 (talk) 08:10, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Go to Special:Preferences and notice the heading 'Signature' near the bottom of the page. For other advice see WP:SIGN. EdJohnston (talk) 17:06, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

IT WORKED! Thank you so much! JohnDVandevert (talk) 06:53, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

You're still not using a proper signature. You should use the default signature that links to your userpage and to your Talk page, i.e., like mine.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh. Okay, one second. Sorry. JohnDVandevert (talk) 11:03, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Did this do anything? JohnDVandevert ([[User talk:JohnDVandevert|talk]]) (talk) 11:05, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

I can't seem to figure out how to get the talk page to link! JohnDVandevert (talk) 11:06, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

When you click on Preferences and you scroll down to the Signature heading, what does it say under "Your existing signature"? What does it show in the "Signature:" text box? And is the "Treat the above as wiki markup" text box checked? Finally, when you WP:SIGN your posts, what do you do?--Bbb23 (talk) 11:54, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

That's the real strange part. My 'current' signature has the talk page linked and yet when I post here it's not linked. I am not sure exactly what that means. I am aware that when you go, you can see what it looks like currently. But I am doing that and it is linked. I apologize for my frustration. It's not at you, I just feel a bit stupid.

Teahouse

Hi! JohnDVandevert, Thank you for volunteering to be a host at the Teahouse. We really appreciate your willingness to help. However, having seen a few of the problems you have got yourself into recently, I have removed your name from the Host list, as I don't think you're quite ready yet. It takes a lot of time, background knowledge and especially patience to answer new editors' questions effectively. So you should probably edit for a while longer before you sign up to be a host, and ensure that your interactions with other editors are always supportive and civil. That said, you're still very welcome to answer any questions there that you can, and we hope you continue to participate and spread the word about the Teahouse to other new Wikipedians. Come back soon! Regards Nick Moyes (talk) 14:57, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
