I take it that I'm not the only person running a board with signatures disabled (length set to zero).

Can we have an option to switch them off entirely in the Admin CP which would also remove the annoying (and always checked!) option to "add my signature to this post" when there is no such option available anyway (sig=0)? smile

What was suggested by one of my members, and I kind of like the idea, is to have an option so that, if a member can post a signature in a thread, it can only appear once in that thread. So, if they make an initial reply, their sig will appear in that first reply, but not in subsequent replies. Whether to allow sigs in all posts/replies or just the first post could be selectible (or no sigs at all as well). Have options in the control panel like so:

o Allow sigs in all posts
o Allow sigs in first posts only
o Do not allow sigs in posts

Just like with ratings, once you rate a thread, the sig option "Allow sigs in first posts only) could work the same way. Once a member has placed a sig in a thread, the option to place a sig simply would disappear for subsequent replies.

Great suggestion Basil. I've been wanting signature in the first post (was a hack in UBB.c) for a long time! Got my vote!


Stress the system until it breaks. Hey.. it works for Spacecraft.. why not here?
