Google Groups provides a platform for people who want to discuss topics in online groups dedicated to specific themes and subjects. You can access, read and post to Google Groups through your Web browser or via your email account. The Web browser interface doesn't allow users to automatically add signatures to Google Groups messages. To make a signature for Google Groups, you'll need to access the service with your email account and configure the email account to add a signature block to outgoing messages.
