Signatures?

Joseph Mitchell · 08-03-2010, 02:48 AM

I spent some time today trying to figure out how to place an automatic signature to my posts in this forum, and had no luck finding it. Am I just missing the option, or are people posting each signature string manually, cut and paste?

Up the top there are some menus... The first one is User CP... Click on that, and you'll see an option for your signature. You would have used that to put up your avatar as well.

I'm pretty sure you either have to have ten posts, and/or have been a member for a certain amount of time before you can have a signature.

Joseph Mitchell · 08-03-2010, 08:35 AM

Aha, that would explain why I couldn't find it. I was all over that 'User CP' section searching for a signature option.

One needs at least 10 posts and one week of membership .... so looking at your joining date, you only need to reach the 10.

It will pop up within the week if you are over the 10 posts.

Also, if your .sig is bigger than your average post, your computer will explode.

lol, when I first read the title I thought he was talking about how to do signatures on ebooks, and then I opened the thread and discovered it was just a forum technical question. ^_^;;

That's what I thought too... for obvious reasons.

Ooh, signatures on ebooks...one could have a virtual book signing, much less potential for embarrassment and humiliation than the real thing.

Mr. Blake, right above you, has done it! I bet he has time for one more if you ask nicely!

for you to make a post shorter than your signature would be quite a feat !!!!

.... and you an Author, too, one would expect more words from such a craft-mistress !

Sure, I'd be glad to. As for "embarrassment and humiliation," I didn't get any of that... quite the opposite, in fact.

See the big green link in my signature if you would like the whole story.

For everyone who sent in requests after the original 10-14 July run finished, you will still get a signed eBook. I'll start signing dedications for the SECOND EDITION as soon as there is an official announcement about STUPEFYING STORIES (which should be very soon now!).

That is SO clever! And generous of you to tell us how you did it.
