    This is Weird! Sometimes I see my sig, sometimes not. If I do a preview, it shows. When I submit, it's not there. Sometimes.

    I'm confused. My readers are confused.

    Can our resident Sherlock Holmes take a look?

    Assuming we HAVE a resident Sherlock Holmes.

    Not particularly an Earth shattering event.

    Your assistance is appreciated!

    (I previewed this post and it had the sig...)

    The issue seems to occur on the thread "The NEW Oakville Sub" FWIW...

    I think I can help with this.
    You see, Charlie (E-8) edited the code to show a person's signature on any given page only one time. The first post a person makes on a page shows their signature. Any subsequent post appearing on the page will be minus the signature.

    This helps the page become more compact.
    HTH....

    What Hemi has written is all correct.

    The Case Of The Vanishing Signature.

    Sounds like one for Perry Mason, but I'm glad the Admin people have resolved it!

    Regards,

    That is brilliant!:thumbs_up:
    Assuming this mod is not proprietary, any chance of a link to the relevant code?
    (I can think of a number of vBulletin based sites that would benefit from this -- particularly if it is actually once a page and not once a thread.)
    Alternately, might releasing the patch to the vBulletin community be considered?

    :cheers:

    It's a plugin available at vbulletin.org. It's not original with me.

    Signature Image

    Hello,

    I'm having a problem with my signature showing when posting. It appeared to work fine just a few days ago.

    To better illustrate my point, please refer to the following post:

    Tehachapi Pass in N Scale - TrainBoard.com

    You'll notice in the first couple of posts that my signature displays fine, however, the last post in the thread doesn't display my signature at all. This began a few days ago, and I simply dismissed it thinking I might have placed a special forum character in the post someplace, but the last post in the link above uses only a single smiley image. I also checked my profile, as well as the post to enable the signature before submitting.

    (And wouldn't you know it, it appears fine in this post)

    I'm stumped.

    I don't mind the vanishing signature as long as my first post in a given thread has it.

    Now, to see if the problems with my winter damage to track work, can do the vanishing act. Grin!
