No option anywhere in user cp to always turn signature on in each psot u write? Do you HAVE to set "signature on" always manually with each post??? o_O wtf? :eek: :p

Pls help ;)

Its always on by default.. have you set signature on in user cp? Check your cap once more...
For me I get it checked all time by default..

Ok, I found out now... But still, not that friendly for new (forum) users, after creating account (and the minimum 10 posts), trying to find a signature setting anywhere in user cp... -.- :p

Thanks! I was confused as well when I first made my account. I like to set everything up all at once, but I understand why it's deactivated at first.

Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...:confused:

Moderator Edit - Here's the answer from svetius


It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.

And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").

Or just click here : Edit Signature



Thanks a lot , finally i got the answer.:D

Thanks i was wondering what was up lol I Love this site maybe next time ill spend 30 seconds searching the forums instead of spending 10 minutes looking for the sig :):eek:

Exactly the same for me! ;) I did already read a lot on this forum, now decided to register as well and wanted to setup everything before starting to post, searched and searched an option within the control panel to edit my signature, always thought it MUST BE THERE! :D Then finally after using the search-function found this thread and now know why I couldn't find the signature...


Maybe the control panel could be changed in the way, that the option "signature" is visible at least, but inactive and with the information already mentioned there? Or a link to this thread directly at least?

    This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

    i wonder if how does this help in stopping spam ..... anyways .... whatever you feel is good should be good someways

    People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.

    We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.

    I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
