Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
<span style="color: #33cccc;">~</span><strong> [[User:RhinosF1|<span style="color: #0000ff;">Rhinos</strong><em>F1</em></span>]]<sub>[[User Talk:RhinosF1|<span style="color: #999999;">(Chat)</span>]]</sub> / <sup>([[Special:Contributions/RhinosF1|Contribs]])</sup>

Fixed signature:
<span style="color: #33cccc;">~</span><strong> [[User:RhinosF1|<span style="color: #0000ff;">Rhinos<em>F1</em></span>]]</strong><sub>[[User Talk:RhinosF1|<span style="color: #999999;">(Chat)</span>]]</sub> / <sup>([[Special:Contributions/RhinosF1|Contribs]])</sup>

More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:54, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
