Larry Jones Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 I don't see a way in this forum to add a signature to my profile. A list of equipment/software is valuable when asking and answering technical questions. Having to type out this information every time would be tedious, and (my opinion) will lead to a lot of posts saying "What equipment and software are you using?" Can this function be added?
John Sandlin Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 The Function is there (here?) ... At your name in the upper right with the drop down, go to Account Settings and you should see "Signature" on the left.
scook Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 There is a signature option in Account Settings in the user menu in the upper right.
InstrEd Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 I didn't realize it was there myself so thanks all
Tom B Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) My signature didn't show up in the post preview. Hopefully it will be added when the post is submitted. Edit: Indeed the signature was displayed after the post was submitted. Edit works too! Edited December 21, 2018 by Tom B
Bapu Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 The bummer is the limitations on the sig. That is so 1980s. 1
jesse g Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I added my Signature from the previous forum. Just copy and paste it. In the upper right hand corner, click the arrow next to your name Select Account Settings, and then select Signature. Edited December 21, 2018 by jesse g
jesse g Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 There are limits on the number of times you can edit a post as well. I think 2 or three times is the max.

Then you will have the option to either hide all signatures or opt-out specifically for the selected user. But I haven’t yet found a way to restore a user’s hidden signature.

Jack Hawk Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Found it. I had looked originally under the Profile tab and couldn't find it there. Copied and pasted from the old forum... Thank You
John Vere Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Ya I find HUGE signatures with giant pictures large fonts and boring details of what Power supply someone owns really trash the reading experience on the forum. To the point that I have often blocked those members so I don't see those HUGE signatures. Some were like self promo adverts. What might be a cool add on to the forum is that there is just a link at the bottom which opens a sub page with all our details and photos. Really do we need to know anything about our computers anymore? I think we are well past worrying about computer specs these days. Edited December 22, 2018 by John Vere
Keni Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Yeah... It seems to have auto-converted one of my links into a pic. I don't know why and though it's a pic of my album cover, it feels a bit much. I am looking into fixing this...

Yeah, some of them are a bit "look at me" for sure, but as I've just discovered the hide signature button then I guess it's not really a problem as such.

John Vere Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Ha ha, When I saw your post I just thought you were trying out the embedded music player. Thanks Mort. Good to know. Seems I cannot change my User name from John to Cactus, I don't see any edit buttons on that part of my Account settings options. Edited December 23, 2018 by John Vere
