Wow, go away and in three months time, the who board changes. I like the preview (finally!!!) function. I like the go to new post button. But of all the things to be updated dynamically, why the signature?? Right now it says “Never got a sig from Wally; Never got greeted by Cecil…Hurmph!!/When crime is organized enough, it’s not even against the law.” However, I’m going to change it. Watch how this single post becomes inaccurate! ---

As I understand it, the sigs now pull from your profile for every post, instead of appending to the message itself. Last I heard, it had been passed along to the techs as a future change in the vBB code, but for now we’re stuck with it. -andros- ---

I guess that means I’ll keep a manually inserted sig for those that are dependent on post. **SterlingNorth** [sup]“Daddy, what’s that horse doing to that girl?”[/sup]
