My solution was to not use the " " or quotation marks when quoting as my signatures were always quotes. Somehow the quotations interfered with installing my signatures. @Catch, Maybe that issue can be corrected.

Ah....I see!
The forum software code is seeing the use of quotation marks as delimiters, rather than as a part of speech. You might try using apostrophes instead. But, if you can live without the quotation marks, that's probably the easiest solution! The formatting for that area of the forum doesn't appear to be strictly for text.

Somehow the quotations interfered with installing my signatures. @Catch, Maybe that issue can be corrected. That said, your situation may be different according to your screen capture. It seems, though, that these problems are caused by quotations or another punctuation like terminal or pausing points, or possibly hyphens and dashes.

Somehow the quotations interfered with installing my signatures. @Catch, Maybe that issue can be corrected. The following Punctuations are more than likely the culprits. This seems to happen because they are at the beginning and end of the text. I have not yet verified these yet except for the Quotation Marks. 1. "Quotation Marks" 2. [Brackets] 3. (Parentheses) 4. < Angle Brackets > 5. {Braces} 6. 'Apostrophe' NOTE: The Angle Brackets would not post, so I had to place a space between them and the text. I'll bet that one will cause problems.

OK, I tested these one by one:
1. "Quotation Marks" Would not work. 2. [Brackets] All good. 3. (Parentheses) All good. 4. < Angle Brackets > When I closed the space between the bracket and the text, everything between both brackets did not show. However, the text area showed, and you would be able to post. 5. {Braces} All good. 6. 'Apostrophe' Would not work.

A note on those Angle Brackets ~ I used to use them all the time in my posts and at some point within the last year or so, they just wouldn't display correctly ~ it happened about the time we were able to post Twits decently. And that is NOT just a "Signature" area problem. However, your work with the spacing indicates that they will work as long as they are free standing. (as plainly showed ^^^) The Quotations and Apostrophes not appearing in Signatures is puzzling. My inclination is to suspect we need an update to the forum software when it becomes available or there could be an add-on that has caused a hiccough. Thank you for your efforts to test your siggy, @"CrypticMole" ~ it has put us a step closer to fingering the culprit! @Munchaab @Catch Heads Up.

I do not know everything, I know just enough to know that I know nothing - which is just a little more than those who think they know anything!
