I really liked having sigs on the forum.  I thought it was an easy way for anyone to know what hardware I had just by looking at my sig.

 

Could we get them back?

 

Thanks

Signatures work fine for me!

 

are you sure you have the option to see them enabled in your account settings for the forum?

DOH!

 

Thanks,

Unfortunately, the fact that these are off by default means many users will never see your sig.

 

And it also means many users who had sigs in the old forum don't even know their sigs are still there for others to see, and they haven't kept them current.

 

I have some links in my sig but have taken to repeating them in my post when appropriate since we can't assume anybody sees them. And maybe if they could see them they would have already looked at the FAQs, etc.

So I guess there was a server migration or the forum software was changed, what, about a year ago?  I noticed it but didn't give it much thought as I wasn't changing anything on my unRAID server and hadn't needed any help.  The past few weeks I have been doing a lot with my server and realized my sig might be helpful in some posts.

 

So why the heck are signatures turned off by default since the forum migrated to it's new platform?

 

Kind regards,
