What’s the purpose of this? Do you wish to promote something/someone – your band or someone else’s band? Or are you just sharing your playlist?

We’re big believers in promoting the arts in all its forms and that goes double for Dopers.

So yes, you can do this.

And let us know if you have gigs/etc that you would like to promote --send us an email in advance and we can discuss the terms.

Ok, one last question. Is mine displaying now or have I done something wrong?

It’s not displaying in this post; is that what you were going for? It’s accessible through your profile, though.

I thought they displayed in the profile _and_ in your post or posts or am I missing something?

There’s a check box at the bottom that you need to check in order to display your signature, under “Additional Options”. I believe that the administration prefers that signatures only be shown occasionally, like once per thread, or once per page or some such.

(This post will be my first with a signature. My, how creative I am.)

ETA: Hmm. No signature. Dunno what’s up with that. It was there on preview.

Be sure your user CP is set to show sigs.

Nope.

Where is “Additional Options” by the way?

If you use “quote” or “Advanced Options”, it’s below the submit and preview buttons. If you’re using the quick response box, there’s a box immediately below the text box with a check box for “Show Signature”.

I’m going to try mine again.

ETA: Still not seeing mine, although it’s there on preview. Board problem?

Yup, that worked.

Gonna try mine again.

Aha! I guess I have to re-check the box when I preview.
