Hi Cheeky and welcome!

Click "My Account" by your Log Out button. On the left of your screen under Options you'll see "Edit My Signature".

I'm trying on an old android:
There may be a shorter route but this works for me:

Log In

Starting on the page with the green bar that says "Menu", click Menu and then Forums.

Scroll all the way to the bottom where there is a log out button. Beside it is "Account" (bottom of screen).

Using that Account button I see "Options" on the left now, and "Edit Signature". Fill in and push Submit (on lower left).

I'm glad it worked! Good luck with your assessment! I just did mine in the spring but I can't believe it's almost been a year. Time moves so quickly. Now I want to do my AQ quiz again. I remember I had 49/50. (ooops lol).
