Is it just me or are Signatures appearing in some posts but not in others?
Why is this happening?

Re: Signatures

No, it's happening to everyone. Most probably a result of upgrades that are being carried out.

Re: Signatures

The new setting is for every poster's sig to be visible only in their initial posting in each thread; their ensuing postings in the same thread do not carry the sig.

Users who do not want to be seeing sigs at all, can alter the setting at UserCP > Edit Options > Thread Display Options > Visible Post Elements > Show Signatures.

Sorry I am a bit confused, Do you mean that your first post in a thread it will show your sig, but all the rest of your posts it wont?

Re: Signatures

They probably made the changes due to Zazula's sigs. Takes up half the page when you scroll through the thread lol... At least have a max height and width rule so it keeps the posts cleaner?

What are some of the reasons for this change?

Re: Signatures

Cost cutting, most likely. Monthly expenses keeping us up and running must be high.

Re: Signatures

ahhhh, so that's why.

Will the sig also appear on the first post on the page or only the first post in the thread ? I mean, if I've started answering a thread on page one and we move on to page 2, will I have to tell the user to go back on page one to see the link in my sig about posting system specs ?

Re: Signatures

I can see why its been done, but the purpose of having a signature is taken away IMHO. A signature is designed to give information about specific, dedicated links in line with the users role on the forums. For example, hardware people will have dedicated links to hardware topics and so on.

Now, people will have to reference users back, which could be a page or 2, not just 1 or 2 posts, right back to where they originally posted instead of, look at the XXXXXXX link in my signature. It technically makes a user trail around the thread to find the link, which doesnt help.

Thats my 2 cents worth.

Re: Signatures

Maybe we could just disable the pics in the sigs starting from the second post in the thread ? Don't know if that can be done.
