Enabling forum signatures

Written by Balaams Miracle

I have been asked how to set a signature for use in the forum and to be honest, the way to do it isn't very obvious as compared to how it's done in other forums, so here's an explanation on how to do it.

- Go to YOUR PROFILE. You can access your profile through the menu to the left or through clicking "My Profile" in the forum.

- Click UPDATE YOUR PROFILE. (it's in the upper-right corner of your profile screen)

- Now, there should be two different tabs, the first one is called "Contact info" and the second one is called "Forum Settings". Click the tab that says "Forum Settings".

- In the lower box, you can now enter your signature. You can use Boardcode to format your sig, HTML can NOT be used!

- Click the button that says "Update", the screen will refresh and show your contact info again. Click "cancel" to leave the profile editor and from that moment on, all your forum posts will sport a sig.

A little sidenote: you will not need to test your sig. all the posts that you have previously made will have your new sig under it. If your sig doesn't look right, go back to edit your profile and try again until you are satisfied with what your sig looks like.

Have fun!
