Several MAJOR forum changes have just been implemented:
1. NO MORE HTML! I have been warning about this for over a year now, and the time has finally come. For the past few months, A and IMG tags were still allowed, but nothing else. From this point on, NO HTML will be allowed. From now on, use FORUM CODE (there's a link in the post/reply box, if you want to know more about it).
2. FORUM-SPECIFIC SIGNATURES! You can now set up a distinct author name and signagure for each and every forum that you would like. Your current author/signature is now your DEFAULT, and for any forums that you do not define custom settings for, your DEFAULT will be used. To set up your forum-specific options, go to your forum settings, select the forum from the dropdown at the bottom, and click 'ADD NEW OPTIONS'.
3. DYNAMIC SIGNATURES! Just like other forums (phpbb, vbulletin) your sig and author name can now optionally be DYNAMIC! This means any changes you make to your sig will be reflected in all your exising posts. Please note, at this time everyone is defaulted to NO dynamic settings. You can go into your forum options page and turn this on if you so desire.
(UPDATE!)
4. SIGNATURE DISPLAY! You can now chose if you want to see other people's signatures when you are reading messages. If sigs annoy you, or you are premium and don't want to see other people's questionable sigs when you are reading the AG forum, you can now disable them.
As always, because these are brand new features, sometimes bugs can pop up. If you notice any strange behavior with the forums, please let me know ASAP, via email (contact link on the left) or PM.
Enjoy!

the no more html, will that effect the prior posts? because that means like 95% of posts from the past will have all the html codes an such visible rather then the images or whatever

Yes it does affect previous posts. This is the main reason that I set up dynamic sigs, because thats where the biggest problem will be. As for other posts, if they happen to be FAQ-type posts, the moderators can edit them. If they are just your run-of-the-mill picture posts, though, we won't bother. I am working on edit for everyone now, but I can't guarantee when it will be done.

It has http: code in the sig....
Mine don't work anymore... neither does yours Satchmoe.
i switched while i typed that lol
http isnt code, its a URL
use the BB code an it will work
Ok i got that refigured out... now when i tried making one for AG.... i get the same damn thing sig for my global as i do for my AG one?
ok i found a problem...when you change your sig in a different forum
for example...i changed my ag sig..and his "save settings" then i hit the "check my sig" and it displayed my default sig instead of my new AG sig...my AG sig appears on my AG posts but it didnt show up in the "check my sig"
^^ Yea i just found that out..... the AG ones are going to get raunchy!
I clicked "Display this signature dynamically (updates to this sig will also update all old posts)." And I still get this.... (?)
My question why fix something when it ain't broken?
Let me guess Dave, you were bored huh?
