Adding a signature is reserved for Hero's Community Managers and Champions. Having a signature on your post adds another nice touch just like having a Profile Card does. You can add HTML and have a more complex one like i do, photoshop yourself an image and add it there or just use plain text. If you want to use HTML in your signature, simply use the HTML tab on the post window when making a reply, copy it and enter it into your signature tab in settings.

Here is how to add a signature to your posts.

1. Navigate to your profile from the tab at the top, and click the "HQ Settings" link and go to Personal Information. You can also use this link to jump right to that page.

2.  Go crazy and add your signature in the settings panel.  It can take a while to get one you like, but once you make one you like save it and it will appear on all your previous and future posts automatically.

Tagging users in posts is a feature that is very helpful.

How you do it put just an "@" and type the username after it. It will appear like this: @MorningTimeCloud 

How to @Tag a user on Answer HQ.

1. Simply put an @ and their username after it. Like this in the screenshot. *** Note that this will only work in the Rich Text tab, if you use the HTML by default it won't.

2.   The user you @ tagged will recieve an email for the email linked to their EA/Origin/Answer HQ account like this below.
