We've talked about signatures in Gmail recently — first using add-ons and then using Gmail's rich-text feature.
Since those posts, I've gotten some questions and have noticed a few things about using the rich-text feature:
1. Disable the add-ons
If you are switching from using the add-ons mentioned previously to the using Gmail's rich-text feature, make sure you first disable the add-ons.
Disable in Firefox by going to Tools (at the very top of your screen)–>Add-ons and click "Disable" next to Blank Canvas or WiseStamp.
Disable in Chrome by going to Window–>Extensions and "Disable."
2. Enable Gmail Labs Signature Tweaks
If you've set up a Gmail sig and it's putting your signature at the very bottom of your emails (like after the quoted text in a reply), enable the Signature Tweaks lab. This will move your signature up to right below your message.
To enable Signature Tweaks, in Gmail go to Settings–>Labs and then enable
Hope that helps!
Are you using Gmail's rich-text signature? How's it working for ya?

Hi Amy
I don't have signature tweeks in my labs tab. I'm on a PC, is that why?
Hi Krisin,
No, it won't make a difference if you're on a PC or Mac. Did you scroll through the entire list of Labs? In my photo, it's number 2 on the list, but that's just because the Enabled labs get stuck at the top.
Found it! They were listed alphabetically. Guess my internal alphabet was wrong yesterday. Thanks Amy.
Hi,
I was battling to see the wysiwyg toolbar in the sig area. I then realised that I had to turn on rich text editing on the email body area and it will enable this option in the sig area. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Patrick!
My gmail signature only gives me the Plain Text option. How can I get the rich text?
Really? Hmmm…does this help?
I am using IE9, I am using rich text formatting and when I try to send an email or reply to someone it won't send it keeps giving me a "send error" in red letters. The only way I can find to get it to send is to change it from rich text to plain text. However I then loose links, pictures and other content that I'm trying to send. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh man, that's frustrating! Hmmm…I'm not sure I'm much help here since IE makes me crazy and I gave up on it years ago. Have you thought of switching browsers to Chrome?
