Post subject:  Signatures are going away!
I've had several discussions over the last few months with the moderators/admins, and we've decided it'd be best to eliminate signatures as a default-viewable item.

For those people who want to use signatures, we'll leave it opt-in - you can toggle them on from the UCP. We'll also setup a new-user welcome message that tells them how to re-enable them (as well as a brief intro and some rules).

Unfortunately, WizardJames says it might have to wait until the next PhpBB patch to get that system up and running, so we'll be running with them completely off for a little while. Give it some time and he'll get it there. :)

great decision. Signatures clutter up the forums and are hardly (never) beneficial.

EDIT: Weasel, did you get my PM?

If you hate signatures cant you just set display signatures to no?
Also, not complaining, but my attaching signatures by default wasn't set to no.
Edit: sig IS gone. hmm.

Entirely disabled for everybody (no matter their settings) until next patch.

I find them entertaining, personally. Out-of-context quotes especially.

I liked signatures because they are a big colorful banner saying 'POST IS OVER'.

My sig. Instantly funny, in or out of context.

For the time being, your signature is still visible on your profile page if anyone cares to click and look at it.

So what if we just manually put our signatures in?

repetitively posting the same thing over and over?

Looks like spam to me

They're going to be back and toggleable at some point anyway.
I just like them as a generally easy way to get to A) get to peoples mod threads quickly and B) have a laugh at someone who said something dumb.
