Anyways... I don't think anyone really hates people that don't know how to use the site here. It's taken me at least a year to adjust to the new layout. I'm not the expert at signatures (I mean, look at how basic mine is), but I'm sure someone would be delighted to either make you one in the request thread.
Here's a link for the color codes, that was my biggest issue, finding color codes.
And also, Bbcode is an amazing thing to learn as nearly all the forums use it. IMO, bbcode is relatively easy once you figure out the basics.
I'm aware my current signature isn't quite up to par,
but I've made some nice ones.
