Whoa, I changed my sig, and it changed all my sigs! Time to put mine back. But anyways, if you just paste this:

\>\<DARWIN\>  
\_ **L\_\_\_L**  
into the sig window in your profile, it will work.

What do you mean? Do you mean that it retroactively changed sigs in messages that had already been posted?

Yes, I changed my sig to Darwin in the post that said see below. It changed the previous sigs of mine (since the changeover) to Darwin. Then I had to go find an old (pre vBulletin) post with my original sig to change back. Now the “see below” quote doesn’t really make sense, since it changed to something other than Darwin. Also, Jab1’s mention that Darwin doesn’t work no longer makes sense, since Darwin is back in all his glory in that post.
