Forum:Signature timestamp

I'm trying to make my signature display the date and time as part of the signature, using three tildes instead of four. This way I can change the color and whatnot. I fumbled through and got it to work for the most part, except the HTML <span> doesn't seem to work in the preferences page. I tried using <div> instead, but it always wants to put a hard return right before the div. This is what I type into preferences:

{{SUBST:Nosubst|User:TheSlyFox/sig}} <div style="font-size:7pt;color:#330077;">'''''{{Subst:#time:{{SUBST:CURRENTTIME}} F j, Y}}'''''</div>

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! -- Sir "TheSlyPony" Invariably certifiable. 00:07, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

I seem to have gotten it right now. Spans do work, but only if what comes after <span class=> is put in quotes:

{{SUBST:Nosubst|User:TheSlyFox/sig}} <small><span style="color:#330077">'''''{{SUBST:CURRENTTIME}} {{SUBST:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{SUBST:CURRENTDAY}}, {{SUBST:CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)'''''</span></small>
