Signature anomalies

[MacFett]

I recently posted a comment in a thread directing someone to the tutorial I have linked in my signature. The next post someone said my signature was gone. I went in and checked to make sure the signature box was checked, still no signature.

Someone else commented:

It's something they've implemented into the forum posts. Signatures are essentially only supposed to be seen in your first post of a thread, but not any posts in the thread afterwards. It's buggy sometimes from the looks of it though.

I thought ok, great. But then in another thread everyone of my replies has my signature. I am looking for the thread now but can't seem to find it (the downside to being in almost every thread in my phone's subforum).

It's actually supposed to limit people's signatures to showing up once per page of the thread. Does the behaviour you've seen make sense in light of that?

But I know we've had some problems with it. If I remember corrrectly, it has to be enabled for every individual subforum (and we have a lot of subforums) so its always possible one has been missed.

So you're sure it's one of your device subfoums that is the problem?

And please link to the sections/threads where you see the weird behavior. This will help phases get to bottom of problem

It was in one of the Virgin sub-forums (Optimus V, Virgin or Triumph) but it was late too so I may have only thought it was happening because I'll be danged if I can find it again. Every other thread it seems to be fine. If I do happen upon the one I thought I saw it I'll post a link.

Thanks guys.

I think I figured out what happened. When you post a new reply via quick reply it displays your signature until the page reloads, then it removes it unless it is the first post of the page.

That is why I was sure I'd seen my signature more than once on a page, yet couldn't find it when I went back to look for it.

That sounds about right, I seem to have seen something similar, QRs always show the sig until you refresh the page.

 

[Xyro]

Ah, that makes sense.

I know it's part of the ongoing anti-spam battle, but a sig is supposed to be there all the time.

I wish the only restriction on signatures here would be that only in-site links would work.. such as to the User Guidelines, or an important (to the user) post or thread (root guide? etc).

That would pretty much eliminate sig/spam.

I think this is more of a readability thing. It gets a bit annoying if it shows every time, especially if people have images in there.

 

[Frisco]

Ok, no images, or only a certain small size.

Work with me on this, man.
