Posted by sigea

Hi, WHy is it that my signature gets shown on some posts but not on others

eg

its shown here -
http://www.esato.com/board/vi[....]c=61505&start=6030#post2442033

but not here -
http://www.esato.com/board/vi[....]ic=175418&start=15#post2442487

I havent unticked the show signature option. My browser is opera and OS is Win XP

when you enter the forum without first login in and then try to post a reply, by default the Show signature box is unchecked. now, when you enter the forum and login in, it will have the Show signature checked by default. give it a try.

Aha, got it!

Thanks tranced

my turn for signature problems....

i check the box, show my signature (as i am on this one) and i bet you my signature wont be there...... the only way i can get ti there is by clicking 'edit my post' then it appears - why is this?



Posted by masseur
your signature seems to be working now

Posted by marty mcfly
Why are so many people allowed signatures that support Robert Mugabe? I bet if I had a Nazi signature it would be deleted pretty quickly.

Posted by leeboy13
it does thats strange, it wasnt there when i posted that message - hmmmm

not to worry tho as its working now

cheers

Posted by ofiaich
my turn !

I think we cannot use the trusted trader 'grading' logo in our signatures.



Why?

I know it can be added to the end of a post, but why not in a signature?

Posted by masseur
because images are not allowed in signatures

I think MikLSP is, or was, in discussion with laffen to somehow show these in the profile but I have no idea of where that is at

@marty mcfly, I've PM'd you for more details

My signature doesn't appear unless I edit, but mine has an image in it (though the image is a link to an image stored on my own web server)

I didn't realise images weren't allowed.



Posted by masseur
you still have the image code in your signature and yet the rest of your signature has worked on that post

btw...

Staff on here are quite tolerant of sigs that you or i might find offensive Marty, Esato has IMO, the widest ranging tolerance of beliefs and viewpoints on all the tech forums i go on. i'm much more draconian, i wont even tolerate iphone users

I know odd hey! It only comes up with the image part of the signature if I edit my post..

Posted by masseur
the reason for that is that once the post is submitted the first time, the signature is captured and forms part of the text of the post.

therefore when you edit and submit the post again, the script no longer treats it as a signature and hey presto, you get your image. Unfortunately you also get the "this post was last edit by...." message too.

Posted by max_wedge
Should I edit my signature? I don't mind if I don't get the image unless I edit, but would you prefer I disable the image altogether?

(as you probably notice I don't go around editing all my posts!)

Posted by djin
Well i tried all of the above(except editing) and my signature isnt showing up

Oh wait nvm. Finally working

I have asked laffen to allow the use of the A-ZoTT userbars and made suggestions but have heard nothing since he said he'd consider something.

My interpretation is that you'll never be allowed to use them in your signatures for convenience here I'm afraid.



Posted by gola
How does technical expert get it right to add the same message/slogan at the end of all his posts, I mean he is not using the signature feature
Copy and paste??????

Posted by gola
Wow, I actually thought there was more to it than that.

Posted by tranced
Signatures are not showing smileys. It's just me?

@mass: new avatar?

well, it seems that trusted trader userbars are now allowed in the signature

Posted by MikLSP
Excellent, thanks

Posted by jcwhite_uk
Nice to see. Will make life a bit easier.

Posted by joel80
My signature hasnīt work for a while.. testing again now.

What happens if the signature is to long? Is nothing of it shown then?

Show signature checked:


Posted by tranced
it's working yours.

when the signature's too long, it shows until it lasted

Posted by joel80
It seemed to work.. but not everything was there.. changed it a bit and trying again:

edit:
Now I'm happy!

cool, as long as people dont put huge images in their sig's

Posted by MWEB
Monitoring images and related matters in sigs is a full time job, I should know, i do it full time in two places elsewhere, i like the idea, but along with the freedom, comes responsibility!!

Posted by paul101
well, as long as it doesnt get bigger than the current, it will be ok

Posted by tranced
Paul, your image is as big as an oxygen molecule.

O2 . . . ???

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah I hope this doesn't get out of hand. New members will go and stick massive pictures in their signatures because they'll be used to other forums that look messy with their huge signatures. They don't know what Esato used to be like. Esato was so tidy with the text only signatures and I preferred that.

Posted by ofiaich
Yes, people will start getting silly,,,,

yes, but at OM i wasnt able to see it. did you enable it now?

@laffen: could you limit the size of the images in signatures? that would do the job

Posted by masseur
I've been giving this some thought since yesterday and I now think images being display in the signature is a temporary glitch

laffen has been working on the vewtopic script to improve performance and it must be that this script used to filter out the images from the signature as it displayed posts, but somehow that part of the code is currently not executing

I have a feeling these images maybe disallowed again when the script update is completed, although hopefully he will still allow anything that starts with http://a-zott.com/images/A-ZoTT%20Userbar%20 so that the userbar can stay

Posted by tranced
@masseur: tell me that will be enabled after the script update

i like seeing my sig in bold

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yeah I quite like having the bold signatures, so I hope that will stay. But yeah, hopefully you can get it so only A-ZoTT user bars are allowed. I'd definitely prefer that. I think it already looks a bit crap with these signature images sneaking in.

Posted by ofiaich
Hi Muhammad-Oli!

don't you like my double one in my post a few before this one?

Does make the point though... please will go crazy!

Changing the rules for signatures will not stop people adding after their text.. like this...

I'd prefer Esato signature image free. It keeps it looking clean mate.

And sure it won't stop people putting in images after there post as you did, but nobody is going to be so hung up about images that they are going to bother doing that every time they post!

Posted by MWEB
I agree it should be contained to trader userbars only, i know from experiance, that if you give SOME members an inch, they will take a mile

Posted by RyaN
I can just about handle the a-z of tt userbars in the sigs, but even that is pushing it tbh. Personally i reckon the forum looks so much better sig free....it needs to stay that way!

Posted by ofiaich
Hi!

but nobody is going to be so hung up about images that they are going to bother doing that every time they post!


But that is easy to do. Just pm yourself with the code for the images.. and then you can copy and paste to your hearts content.

But yes, in truth, I would like Esato to be image and advert free.... like it was when I signed up!

But I know adverts generate income...
