I use a template for my signature because it allows me to preview it (the prefs page forces me to save first). <s>Unfortunately, <code>SUBST:</code> is automatically prepended to the template code by the wiki, so I can't have my old sigs change </s>. Turns out SUBST is only 1 level deep, so I can use another template.

Also, I apologize for how long it is (3 lines). It doesn't show when reading a page, but it does when editing. I'll look into using a template, although text gradients are tricky with CSS and only work really well in Webkit, and I'm not special enough to use Javascript in a template. If you have any suggestions, [[User talk:Lethosor|let me know]].

'''Update:''' It now uses [[:Template:tc]], which brings it down to 1 line on my screen (it could be longer on a smaller screen). Hopefully that works for now. --[[User:Lethosor|{{tc|#093|L}}{{tc|#084|e}}{{tc|#075|t}}{{tc|#066|h}}{{tc|#057|o}}{{tc|#048|s}}{{tc|#039|o}}{{tc|#02a|r}}]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|{{tc|#20b|t}}{{tc|#509|a}}{{tc|#807|l}}{{tc|#a06|k}}]]) 18:03, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

'''Update:''' It's now down to what, 21 characters? Close enough. I hope that's not too long, but it's a lot shorter than my old one. --{{User:Lethosor/sig}} 21:44, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

:Well, it's longer with that timestamp.

I'm using this as a test page, because it was easier than creating a sandbox. Feel free to leave comments on my [[user talk:Lethosor|talk page]] instead.

Again, now using a shorter template: [[User:Lethosor|{{tc|#093|L}}{{tc|#084|e}}{{tc|#075|t}}{{tc|#066|h}}{{tc|#057|o}}{{tc|#048|s}}{{tc|#039|o}}{{tc|#02a|r}}]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|{{tc|#20b|t}}{{tc|#509|a}}{{tc|#807|l}}{{tc|#a06|k}}]]) 18:00, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Another test: {{User:Lethosor/sig}} 21:41, 25 February 2013 (UTC) appears ok... and it works!
