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.
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.

Subscribing to a thread can be useful so you know if someone has replied to it if you wish to help them or other people who post in that thread after replying. You can subscribe to a thread or a full forum section. Below are instructions on how to do so. You will receive an email saying someone has replied to that thread you have subscribed to.

Adding an avatar is available to Champions and above. It adds a nice touch like other features to your posts. You can use an image from another website, or upload one. You can also change the default ones.
How to add an Avatar
Navigate to this page in your settings or click your username at the top (like in post #2), and click "Settings" and then "Avatars". From here you can upload, link one or change the default ones.

Quick Reply is a simple but useful feature if you want to simply quickly reply to a post not needing to use any HTML or Macros. I myself use it often and it comes in handy a lot of times.
Here is how to enable Quick Reply
Go to your "Preferences" in your settings, click "Display" (or use this link) and enable Quick reply.

@How to @Tag a user on Answer HQ.
- Simply put an @ and their username after it. Like this in the screenshot.
@2. The user you @ tagged will recieve an email for the email linked to their EA/Origin/Answer HQ account like this below.
Note that this will only work in the Rich Text tab, if you use the HTML by default it won't.
New name, new look, same great benefits: EA Access and Origin Access are now EA Play.
