Is there a way to put a Twitter button in the signature bit? According to the Twitter button page, you just copy the code but it won't come up as a button here.

Any help would be appreciated.

A lot of "copy the code" features use HTML but HTML is turned off here:
BB code is On
Smilies are On
[IMG] code is On
HTML code is Off
I've noticed that some sites (for uploaded pictures, especially) are offering stuff like picture URLs in BBCode, complete with [ IMG] tags. I don't know if your Twitter button could even be implemented that way, though.

I use a dialup connection myself so I already keep signatures turned off most of the time to save on page-loading time. If signatures started acquiring even more features, I'd probably want to do that even more.
Thanks for this!

On the 'edit sig' page it says,

Allow Basic BB Code Yes
Allow Color BB Code Yes
Allow Size BB Code Yes
Allow Font BB Code Yes
Allow Alignment BB Code Yes
Allow List BB Code Yes
Allow Link BB Code Yes
Allow HTML Yes
Allow Image BB Code Yes
Allow Code BB Code Yes
Allow PHP BB Code Yes
Allow HTML BB Code Yes
Allow Quote BB Code Yes
Allow Smilies Yes
Can Upload Images for Signature Yes
Can Upload Animated GIF for Signature Yes



This is what I get when I try to put the button in...

<a href="http://www.twitter.com/Pegasus_pegs"><img src="http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/follow_me-c.png" alt="Follow Pegasus_pegs on Twitter"/></a>

It might be that I am not allowed to post a button here at Psych Central anyway.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I think it was the HTML code/tags that worked.
