I have been lurking on here for years, probably. Only it feels a lot longer because I read so many old threads. I’m especially fond of the pre 1995 era. (Or did I mean pre 2005?) And sometimes I would see peeps talking about signatures, and I would be like, holy helicopters what signatures? I don’t see any signatures, and I felt like y’all were making them up or hallucinating them or something.

But then today, I saw the thread about how to change the message board look back to how it’s supposed to be, and when I was in the place where you do that, I discovered a little thingamabumper about showing signatures. So I clicked it and now I can see them.

A whole new message board has just awakened!

And now I have a reason to share something quite mundane and pointless with you all.

Congratulations!

Quick tip: If you don’t have signatures enabled, you can always see someone’s signature by clicking on their name at the top of their post. Since I don’t like viewing signatures generally, I use that option whenever a signature is being discussed.
