Well, that’s weird. Does **bold** work in text? ---

All right, let’s try copy-and-pasting the sig into the body of the post: Dude, your statistical average, which was already in the toilet, just took a plunge into the Earth’s mantle. ~ **iampunha** Well, maybe you shouldn’t use the political equivalent of the Weekly World News as a factual source. Just sayin’. ~ **RTFirefly** [sub]Brought to you as a public service by **EddyTeddyFreddy Industries, Inc.** , purveyors of wit, wisdom, badinage, and run-on sentences since 1949.[/sub] And how about putting it in a quote box: > [@](#): > > Dude, your statistical average, which was already in the toilet, just took a plunge into the Earth’s mantle. ~ **iampunha** > Well, maybe you shouldn’t use the political equivalent of the Weekly World News as a factual source. Just sayin’. ~ **RTFirefly** > [sub]Brought to you as a public service by **EddyTeddyFreddy Industries, Inc.** , purveyors of wit, wisdom, badinage, and run-on sentences since 1949.[/sub] Okay, on preview the coding works just fine. Now let’s click on the sig again. ---

The update in the other thread should explain the most recent change, but suffice to say your sig should be working again, **EddyTeddyFreddy**.
