Why does the signature on my posts not look like what I entered

I liked the signature others had about their previous financial software experience and I thought I'd replicate it. I entered the signature as follows

However what shows on my posts is this

What gives?

That’s very strange indeed.

My first comment was to see what my signature looked like and it appears as expected. I notice that it looks like you have a blank line before your first typed line. If so, maybe removing it will get rid of the unexpected behavior… just guessing here.

this is a test to see if removing the blank line helped

Nope it didn't help….where are these bullets and wide line spacing coming from I wonder

Odd, just to troubleshoot, you might try writing what you want in MS Notepad or some such formatting-free software and copy/pasting it from there into Simplifi.

Good idea. After cutting all text from current signature and pasting in notepad, then saving blank signature, I opened and then copied and pasted from notepad here….fingers crossed.

That did it!!! I added the - in front of each line. Thanks!

SURPRISE!?! All my previous posts have the corrected signature. I had assumed it was just inserting the formatted text into the post as additional text each time. I now realize the signature on every post you have posted in the past is your CURRENT signature
