    I've seen some guys here with bolded links on their signatures. Are they "more" than simple anchor text? :)

    People use bold in their signatures so those links stand out to other forum members.

    From a SEO point of view, bold text helps in the context of a page, not on forum signatures.

    Yup that is quite funny, the only reason behind making signature link as bold is to get the attention and nothing else.
