Forum:How to sign unsigned posts

not sure if its common knowledge how to sign someones post for them in a way, however I'm going to post the info up here, i havn't tested it successfully yet due to the fact that i messed it up when i tried, but feel free to try it and if you already understand it go ahead and explain a part to me or anyone else on here, since i could not get the name to show up red w/e its color is when a name glows and offer's a link, either way you type in this

typing on that lets you insert the user name and date of time, ill test this out on this forum using my name so if it doesn't make sense why it keeps repeating the same sort of thing that's me.Toolazytomakeaaccount 17:34, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

success! anyway there is already a template thing about unsigning and this info is most likely moot but w/e.Toolazytomakeaaccount 17:40, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

just one final final note, its a lot easier to just type {{subst:unsigned| then add the name and finish it with the } symbols, and that works more easily.Toolazytomakeaaccount 17:56, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want to be even more specific with the preexisting template, you can also add another field for the time and date of the original post (subst:unsigned|name|time and date). That will just insert the time and date after their username. ～ Iridia    talk | contrib  13:02, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
