Sig problems

Post by entirelyturbo »

To begin with, there is no option to add/change sigs in the Aeolus or HeliusGray styles at all. I tried switching to smartDark and subSilver style, where the option is there, but once I changed it, I lost my sig altogether.

Thoughts? Comments?

There is an option in your profile to always attach signature. I reenabled that. It "should" be ok now. Try posting again, and see if your sig shows up.

Not sure why there isn't options to change sigs in those other styles.

I think it has something to do with the last time the server got hacked or whatever. I remember a lot of things changing when that happened, for example: I'm using Quick Reply now, and I forgot all about it because there is no Quick Reply in Aeolus.... :(

hmm, it seems to be going back to the option of not always showing your sig.

I'd like to log in as yourself and check things out, but I'll have to change your pw. Let me know if that's ok.

test from Aeolus

Still an option to attach sig below the reply box, but didn't see it in my profile.

test from heliusgray.

No option to show sig when posting a reply, and no option in the profile either.

in fact, it doesn't show sigs at all.

Hmmm...Well I'm back in smartdark, my sig still isn't showing up, regardless of what I choose in my profile. So it looks like heliusgray really fubars sigs or something.

This is probably something Dave is going to have to look into on the server side of things. Mine's messed up now too.

BTW, I've cleared cache, and changed computers, so it's definitely a server issue.

Do you still need to do this? I don't have a problem with it if you need to.

nah.....I broke my own username....haha.

It sounds like the board is a little screwy. I think Dave may reload/upgrade to the latest phpBB, and reload everything. That should fix everything. However, I'm not sure when that will take place.

Ok.....Figured shit out.

Some how switching between styles deletes the signature. So when switching back to smartdark my sig wasn't there (even though I could've sworn it was there yesterday). So I just added it back in, and everything seems ok.

Same goes for yours. I put a "test" in your sig field, and checked the box to attach sig in the post above.

If you're in styles that don't have the attach sig option, you still won't have your signature being displayed, even if you have defined that something should be there.

Interesting. I'll just stick with subSilver then.

^^ Spammer

As for the sig issue. It's not a server issue. It's a skin issue. Those skins do not have the option to have a signature, so while the option is there in the standard boardcode, it is not in there as being checked yes (default: no), so sigs do not show up, and neither does your own.

Solution: Get better skins. I have this one called DustyGreen that's really cool.

See the skin here: http://gamesite.shacknet.nu/forum
