Signatures (like mine below) usually come from an external statistics site, according to the details you enter on the 'Community Preferences' page of an individual project web site.

I don't see any signature below your post here, so I don't know what sort of signature you intended to use. However, I do know that one of the popular ones - BOINCstats - had a database problem sometime last year and re-issued user ID numbers: that had an effect similar to the one you're describing.

Go to the project where the faulty signature is displaying: log in to your account: follow the link on your account page to BOINCstats (or whichever site you're using): collect the new signature image string for your account: and put that back into your community preference page to replace the corrupted one.
