Really miss the footers in the new forum

I really miss the one place people put a lot of creative energy into (well maybe not so much me) - the signature footer

The barely readable gray one liner is not the same as seeing the creative energy kids put into making a signature. An icon only goes so far.

Any way we can have better footers/signatures in this new layout?

You can always add to the body of your post an image, but who wants to do that every time!

I agree completely. And to add to it BB code doesn’t even work for most functions!

Seems like I have it working :slight_smile: Needs a little TLC though ! Click my sig, see where it goes.

I love the convex thing shoved all the way off to the side.

So why didn’t any of you HTML wizards figure that out? All it took was this.

Edit: removed the instructions, not a good idea. Admins, are you reading this ??

Except the whole forum is going to look really messy now !

“iframe” ? This feels like a potential security risk, looks like any html can probably be injected.

There was a major bug with the signature plugin a while ago but AFAIK they fixed that, I’m not going to try it now, won’t be popular if I crash the forum.

I’m really surprised adding html worked, I didn’t expect it to.

Now I see no signature line…

Due to the security risk that was discovered last night, we have disabled signatures for the time being. We will re-enable them again once we have a safe and secure way for them to be included. Thank you for your patience.

Oops! I forgot to manually add my signature. How bad of me… :slight_smile:

Sigs are back :slight_smile:

The sizing is a little different which is annoying. Probably better than the original plugin on here that let signatures extend past the boundary of the post.

Had a play with the style and managed to get the text a nice Black to mix in with my theme as well as increase the default font size. That tiny light grey is far to hard to easily read (IMO).
