I made a little thing for making sigs:


so basically you use codes, and it's like HTML, if you know a bit about that, except it's simpler, and it's called BBCode, which we also use here on the forums
so if you want to make your text bold you have to write [*b]text here[/*b], but you take out the *s, the same if you wanna make it italics, which instead of b (like bold), you put i. the same with underline etc

it's a bit trickier if you want colours, but it's not that hard, really
you go to the button called My GSB in the top, where it also says GeekStinkBreath.net, Message board, chat, MY GSB, Profile and Log out.
so on the left side, down the page, there is a section called Message Board, and in that section, an option called Signature

there are some options, like how to make text bold, italics, to the left, right, up, down etc
and then there's the color picker
basically, you go there, click a color, and it makes a code for you.

like if you choose a dark blue, it might have the code #4C72BD, and if you'd like that color for your sig, you write [*color=4C72BD]then put your text here and end with[/color]
but without the *
if you'd like a different color for every letter, you simply write the code before every letter (or word, or whatever)
it might take some time, but it could be fun or cool
so for "RAWR"
you write [*color=#4C72BD]R[/color][c*olor=#4AAE35]A[/color][*color=#FDCE2C]W[/color][c*olor=#DA2DD6]R[/color]
and it'll look like this: RAWR
if you take out the *s! Very Happy

then you can make it bold, big, small, etc. etc! Very Happy

the normal size for text on this forum is 100.
so if you want it bigger, you write [size*=10]text here[/size] or bigger, [size*=150]text here[/size]
you can make text any size from 1 to 300. Please don't make things too huge, because that'll take up space on the page and some people might not be too happy haha, but people will most likely tell you if your signature bothers them, so don't worry Very Happy

i hope that helps!
