 Signature gone AWOL Hi there, Just noticed my signature is missing from my posts and it was there a few posts ago. I had a look in the control panel and there doesn't seem to be an option to edit the signature anymore, and I am checking the "show your signature" box in the options before I submit. Am I doomed to signatureless hell? If anyone could point me in the right direction to get it back I'd be very grateful. thanks Jennifer

| Thanks Paul Used that link and I'm getting a message that I'm not permitted to have a signature. Any idea what that's about ? thanks Jennifer |

| I think there was a change recently which meant new users must reach a certain amount of posts before they are allowed a signature. Maybe 50 or something... not sure  EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, that may have been for avatars? Last edited by ButtermilkJack; 26-04-2007 at 11:26 AM. |

| Thanks buttermilk. I thought it might have been something like that. I had a search on the forum and I couldn't see a mention of it. Might just have to do it manually and see what happens ... Do you know if it's the same for the "latest blog post" ? I put the address in there when I joined and that has never shown up.

| I edited the signature permissions - they may need to be tweaked a small bit more - as I am sick of spammers signing up here simply to get their signature on their profile and one one useless post. Anyone who is a regular member and contributes will be able to have a signature, though as I said I may need to tweak settings a bit

| I can relate to the spam side of it, i had an inactive forum, which I was keeping as an archive, except i had about 5 new registrations a day - all spammers, just closed the whole thing down now |

| Yea i was wondering what was going on as well. I wouldn't worry about stopping people from using avatars though? I can see where your coming from and there is a balance to get. |

| Basically what's happening is this... The site seems to be ranking very well for certain key phrases.. Spammers and general chancers come along. Signup. Add a "lovely" signature and vanish. So I tweaked the settings so that people who actually contribute and hang around get signatures etc., and those that don't, well they don't
