1. You'll probably want to look up at the upper right corner and click "Welcome [your name]">Edit Profile>Notifications and make sure to disable at least some of those settings, otherwise you'll get bombarded by e-mails and notifications on here.
2. To enable your signature, go under "Welcome [your name]">Edit Profile>Preferences and enable the setting "Always attach my signature" in order to have your signature show up. New signatures won't show up on older posts you've made, so don't panic when you don't immediately see it.
3. If you want your avatar to be animated, it'll only work for simple GIFs and/or small files. If the file is too big, it'll show up as a still frame instead. There's no real way around this unfortunately.
I'll edit this with more reminders as time goes on.
