And adaptation of your post as announcement would work well... although I'm not sure about all forums. Definately in this forum... however best to wait until after our Odd Tour is over, as 2 Sticky Threads and one Announcement could get a bit congested up there. However with announcements, you cannot reply... the message can only be edited/changed by an admin.(2)

1) I knew that; I thought it would be a good idea if people tested html sigs to make sure they're got the code right, before actually going to their profile and inputting it there.
2) I'd prefer that this was a topic, not an announcement, because I want to be able to add to it (unless you want to make me an admin
), and hopefully see it become an interactive thing, so that anyone with forum-related questions can come here and get it answered (by me or whoever beats me to it).
Now that the Odd Tour has actually started, isn't the non-Gallery thread redundant? This topic could replace that one as a sticky.
Alternatively, you could put a link to this topic in the rules, and/or on the main forum page, perhaps below the banner, that says something like 'First Time Here?' or 'The Forum Clinic'.
