In the Edit Profile page, the signature field does not indicate it is rich text. I created a two-line signature by pressing the “return” key at the end of the first line. When I made a post in the forums the new signatures showed up as one line. I then edited my profile again, added a BR tag at the end of the first line, then edited my previous post in the forum. When I save the edited forum post I was then able to see a two-line signature under my post.

Either “return” key line breaks should be honored, or help text should be included above the signature edit field to inform users that HTML BR tags are required for line breaks.

You may also want to provide some guidance on signatures .. what’s appropriate, what’s not .. how long it should be .. etc.
