    Hello,

    A signature on the internet usually pretains to fourms or emails. Basically its like a message or contact info that is preset in options to show at the end of each forum post or email.

    Signature
    Data used for identification purposes. Most e-mail sent today contains some type of an electronic signature. A signature may be as simple as the individual's name or alias, contain additional information such as a job description, company, e-mail address, position, phone number, URL, quote, funny saying or joke. Below is an example of the Computer Hope signature sent with all of our e-mails.

    E-mail signature etiquette

    Keep the signature as small and simple as possible. We suggest no more than four lines.
    Your signature doesn't need to be a complete bio of yourself. If you have five different phone numbers, you shouldn't have to post all five of them in your signature. Often a cell phone number is enough.
    Have some type of divider between the signature and main message.
    Signatures are also often found on online communities and forums as a way for a user to easily identify themselves, something they enjoy, etc. Great examples of online signatures can be found on the Computer Hope forum.
