OK, I've been copying and pasting myself, but, considering the number of forum sigs I see here, how do I set it up?

Peace and Long Life,

    C&P every time. I wish the forums had a signature setup, it would make forum posting much more enjoyable for me.

    C&P is a PAIN, specially when I'm posting from work so don;t have my sigt in a handy txt file on my desktop so need to C&P it from an older posting, like I am doing now :)


    Peace and Long Life,

    Yeah this would be a nice feature to have. Cut & Paste works fine for those motivated to do so (i.e. "not me") but it would be nice to have a default sig.

    I have a mac, and I use this trick a lot with code that I have to frequently cut and paste. I don't know if PCs have this feature, but I bet they do.

    It is a keyword autofill (text replacement) option.

    System Preferences > Language & Text > Text

    Click on the + symbol, then type in your trigger in the 'replace' column. I tend to use a trigger like /sig. Then paste in the code into the 'with' column.

    Then in the application (I use Safari, Firefox, and Chrome), Control-click and choose Substitutions > Text Replacement, or in some applications, you can also choose Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement.) Select “Use symbol and text substitution.”

    Now every time I want to put my signature in the field, I type /sig and voila... there it is.

    I use this tool a lot in my coding, because I am not CSS savvy.
