Signatures ?

Venomator · 04-01-2006, 23:28

Seems to be a blip in some postings as far as signatures go - is this a temporary fault ... do not adjust your set type thingy ?

e.g. - per this post ... mine has disappeared ???

And then re-appeared !!!

/puts magic wand away.

We're tinkering with some settings behind the scenes as to the display of signatures. Do not adjust your set, we really are aliens.

Don't worry, we're not editing signatures, nor disabling them so to speak

Watch this space.....(a signature might appear...lol)

Thanks for being quick off the mark Marcel - believe it when I see it !?!

See what I mean though ?

I think this is an option the vbulletin has, to just show a signature in your first post in a thread, this is to make the forum faster I think.

my signature is suposed to appear here... if I put another post, may be its gone in the second one if I'm right. lets see..

ppuga · 05-01-2006, 05:44

second one... (with no signature because of being my second post in this thread)

ppuga · 05-01-2006, 05:46

i was right, this option is very helpfull in forums where the users have HUGE signatures with links to images, smilies, animations, etc. So it only loads once per thread, makes reading easier and faster.

Thanks to admins and mods for this option.

...
mmm

my signature appear again....

may be its one post yes and one post no.. well lets wait and see.

Vbulletin offers two options with signatures by default, either all on or all off. However there are hacks available to allow just one signature in the first post someone makes into a thread, all other posts in that thread by that poster will then be displayed without a signature - just as ppuga has said.

But that's not what is happening here.

That would be the Hokey Cokey Hack.

You put one sig in....one sig out......in, out, in, out, you shake it all about.......

I like how the admins are trying to make it sound like they know what they're doing. Keep it up lads, you're almost convincing....

We do.

I like the way the members are trying to guess what is happening

It's like the blind leading the blind..lol

Nah I'm sure we do have an inkling of what we're doing. But I must admit the push-it-and-see-what-it-does approach is much more fun
