Does ‘preview’ remove sig from post?

Having trouble with the search function.
Tutorial 101, anyone?
hehehe
I have no idea with the search function, but hopefully someone will pop in and help you out.
In the meantime, do unto others…
How did you do the sunglasses smilie ?
How did you get the post to be a link ?
How did you get small words to work ?
Please tell me o great and holy teacher of posts 
Goo you can see what he has done by clicking the “quote” below his posts. Reading the FAQ that can be accessed from the upper right corner might be useful too.
Hombre you can search by keyword or user name. Then select the forum you want to search in. Next you will have to decide if the search will be done only by subject line or from the whole thread. Remember to adjust the date range of the search to get more results, as its default setting is 5 days.
That FAQ button is pretty useless. They have been saying they are working on a replacement for some time, so I suppose you can try it again a few months from now.
In the meantime, there are nearly daily threads like these where the real information is passed out by the regulars.

If you want colors, there’s only one available, which is blue/purple. But better hurry, as the old timers on the board are lobying against it. Why? Because old timers fear change. And fun. If they didn’t think of it their first year here, then it must be useless. Even *dangerous[/]

You will find a list of ‘smilies’ here or click on “smilies” in the upper left corner of the ‘Post Reply’ page.
You will find answers to your (vB) coding questions there as well, My Little Minion.
My minion has been usurped ! Curs-ed high post count[sub]er[/sub]. But, yeah, what warmgun said.
therealblaze, Ah…the ‘date range’ - thank you.
Also (now that I can work ‘search’), Goo, this might be of help as well:

let’s try that again…

Now that you have tackled coding, come join us in our merriment.

Sorry, I had to try it. I want to be able to sit around one day and say, “[Walter Brennen voice] Why, back in the old days, dagnabit, we had two dern text colors to pick from! [/WB voice]”
Actually in my browser, a true link is bright blue and a the ‘fakie’ is maroon.
Firstly, thanks for the help and not being snobby about it. So far you all seem pretty much like a great gang.
(please note the qualifier ‘pretty much’) 
Well,
I for one am all hot and flustered !!!
Now I’m not just Goo, I’m actually warmgun’s minion !
As soon as I figure out how to do sigs, that’s mine :
“warmgun’s minion” since 2001 rotflmao
And don’t tell me how to do sigs… if I can’t figure it out, I’ll let you know !

Pardon me, my newbie-ness is showing. what were those last 2 posts about??? You guys/gals wanna hip the masses?
Goo, You little rascle, glad to help. I’m crushed, of course, that you would allow yourself to be minionized by the likes of a scoundrel and hi-wayman such as warmgun! Why I could have shown you the Boards in ways he can only dreamed of. Oh well…another time perhaps?
However, I will staunchly fight to retain the title originally bestowed upon me by Your Sweetness :
Hey, it’s my 8th post , I’ll take what I can get.
And anyway, andygirl has charmed me away to join in the merriment! Wherever, the heck, that is…
sloanaheadayou - Is your username a reference to ‘Brother Dave Garner’?
[sub]Acually, I don’t know warmgun, I’m sure he’s a great guy. And, mods, this is not flirting - it’s ‘practice’ flirting. :D[/sub]
