Please Help! How the heck to I edit my signature?!
I have been searching for days and can not seem to find anywhere where I can edit or create a signature for my forum posts. 
I know it must be possible because I see other people with signatures, I just can't seem to find it anywhere!
Please help oh forum masters!

As you hang out here more, you'll get a better sense of FT's structure. (With over 200,000 members and over 12,000,000 posts, it needs structure.) This forum is for activities involving FTers and other things of a personal or community nature. There's a Technical Issues forum in the Support & Services category that's intended for things like this. (You may even find that your question has already been answered there so you won't have to ask it again. In this case, there was a thread started October 16 that would have.)
Aside from keeping the forums cleaner, that's where most of the people who can answer technical questions are found. In this case the question was one that many FTers could answer so you found some here, but in general experts tend to congregate in their lairs.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I am looking for help on a website (most any website), I look for something labeled "Help" (or sometimes "Support" or other similar concepts). 
On FlyerTalk, there is a Help link at the top of each page, i.e.:
Home | Forums | Members | Extras | Help
If you click on Help, this Technical Issues forum is on the list, along with other useful information. @:-)

Go to open the menu to click Quick Links then scroll down to Myflyertalk and click edit signature and click on it. IF you want to type any info about your personal space. Then click save. It just easy way to do that for you.

Thanks everyone for your quick help.
Thanks for pointing out the Technical Support Forum.
I understand the rules, now but I still think that this should be a little clearer indicated in the Control Panel/MyFlyerTalk panel...
As you can imagine, searching for "signature" in the forum yeilds many unrelated results, and I even searched in the FAQ, which doesn't mention anything about the 90/90 rule.
Anyway, thanks everyone.

I agree that the documentation should be revised, though.

Also, this page: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/profi...=editsignature
should explain why I can not have a signature, not just say "you are not permitted"... Maybe have a link to the foum rules and the 90/90. Just my 2c.
