Have you ever noticed a custom signature like the one [[User:ASDamick|RdrDcn. Andrew]] uses on discussion pages? If you want to know how to do it, here's how:
#Go to your user page. It should be something like '''<nowiki>http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/User:Name</nowiki>''', where Name is your username
#This should prompt you to create a new article '''User:Name/sig'''
#You can start the article by clicking on the link that says something like '''Start the Name/sig article'''. In reality, you can call the article anything you like
#Copy and/or modify this sample custom signature or view other's custom signatures for ideas (e.g. [[User:ASDamick/sig|RdrDcn. Andrew]]'s or [[User:Joe Rodgers/sig|Joe Rodger]]'s):
#*'''<nowiki>[[User:Name|<strong>Your Name or Nickname</strong>]] <sup> [[User talk:Name|talk]] [[Special:Contributions?target=Name|contribs]] </sup></nowiki>'''
#*This sample would produce a signature similiar similar to this: —[[Special:Listusers|<strong>Name</strong>]] <sup> [[OrthodoxWiki talk:Anything Goes|talk]] [[Special:Recentchanges|contribs]]</sup> 12:00, 16 Jun 2005 (EDT)
#Paste your modified version in your /sig article and save the page
#Go to your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] page
#Under User data, look for the box that say's says "Your nickname (for signatures):"
#Type '''<nowiki>{{User:Name/sig}}</nowiki>''' in that box, check the box that reads "Raw signatures (without automatic link)," and save your preferences
#Now whenever you are talking on a discussion page and press the signature button on the editing bar, it will have your custom signature on it
