Signatures

[STLR FN]

I know Logan was talking a few weeks ago about sig pics "taking bandwidth" and slowing up the site. Is it possible to do what SVTP did? In any given thread your sig shows up in your first post. Then in any subsequent post the sig doesn't show up. Just a thought.

I think it is a GREAT idea. We have some users whose sigs are longer than anything that I have ever seen. I hate to give specific examples.

On the other hand, maybe if we started to politely name some names and ask people to shorten their sigs we could moderate ourselves as a community.

Best,

Dan

If this was to happen, I may turn signatures back on. I view from my PDA once and a while but the signatures kill me there so I turned them off in my user options panel.

Hmmm, now I wonder how hard it would be to add the ability to keep multiple user options settings. A simple click to choose which way I want to read posts. ( I would have one setting without signatures and avatars for PDA use and the other would show everything)

I'd definately subscribe to the show signature once in each post. My finger gets tired on the scroll wheel....

[SergntMac]

I'm very proud of my sig, and I'm not changing it for anyone.

Just a thought.I've had that same thought but after looking behind the scenes, with our current software, there isn't such an option, at least that I could find.

As you create each post, you can manually deselect "Show your signature." If you're posting alot in a thread, consider turning it off yourself after your first post.

[MM03MOK]

There....I deselected my signature.

I just shortened my sig.

I guess it was a little too long.

I believe it just takes a tiny bit of coding. The proper template file(s) need to be modified. See post 4 of this thread at vbulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90108)

jtaGood detective work...but this is beyond my reach and must be done by Logan if this is the solution. Thanks Jevon.

[GarageMahal]

Nice job Mary! It looks good to me :)

I understood that it was sig pictures that were causing the issues.
There is a 1000 character limit on the sigs....

[GarageMahal]

Thanks again Mary! Life is definately more interesting now that I can see everyones signatures again.

Now you be careful how you wield this new found power :lol:

jta:lol: Have had it for a while, just been askeert to use it.... I like plug and play, point and click much better than diving into Code! Don't want anyone blaming ME for pulling down the board because a comma or a bracket's missing... ;)

[STLR FN]

So what's the verdict?

[MM03MOK]

So what's the verdict?Done deal! Thanks for starting the thread, DJ.

[STLR FN]

Not a problem. Just making life a little simpler for those on dial up.

[GarageMahal]

There bAack....

Looks like the last upgrade undid the changes Mary made for signatures, maybe she can do them again ;)

Those who dial up need to wake up and smell the broadband. :P

[hitchhiker]

OK - I think I did it. Check it out and let me know.

Does that mean that it is OK to put my longer sig. back?

:D

[MM03MOK]

:DNOPE! :D

[GarageMahal]

Dial up? What's that? It was just too much for me to see barrel after barrel of whiskey when I only have a bottle or two (or three)

:lol:

Edit: Hmm, it looks like it worked on your post only Mary. Strange....

[MM03MOK]

Edit: Hmm, it looks like it worked on your post only Mary. Strange....Nope, I just deselect the sig when posting. Will get to it some day. All changes were overwritten when the last site upgrade happened.

[hitchhiker]

NOPE! :D

I was just kidding!

:lol:

[KillJoy]

Perhaps, just having a SIZE limit on Sig Pics, and the # of Pics allowed??? I do not know if this already occurs or not...
Just MY thought.....

OK - I went deep underground and updated the code again. It gets written over every time the software is upgraded. Signatures will now only be seen once per poster in a thread.

[DEFYANT]

testing......

[DEFYANT]

testing again

[DEFYANT]

My sig shows up more than once. :D

[MM03MOK]

My sig shows up more than once. :D
It does?? :eek:

[Hotrauder]

testing the tester. Dennis

[Hotrauder]

Did you pass? Dennis

[Hotrauder]

Good job. thanks. I know I am one of the "problem children" and I feel better about it now. thanks Mary. You are one smart wabbit. Dennis

[DEFYANT]

Ok, it is gone now.

[DEFYANT]

You have to refreash the thread after posting, then the "other" sigs go away.

[Bigdogjim]

OK? Let me try this?

[Bigdogjim]

WOW it works and now I have 6,000 post.

Ahhh forget to check the box.DUH!

[Bigdogjim]

OK I get it now!

[GarageMahal]

Awesome :) Thanks Mary!
