How come when I change my sig line in my profile, the sig line in some of my older posts change too?
My sig line until about 4 posts ago both credited matt_mcl for the Esperanto name translation as well as relating a factoid about sweat glands. Now when I look back to posts made weeks ago, my new sig line appears where once, my old one was.
I don’t understand.
For a guy with an old signup date, you sure don’t come to this forum a lot. It’s been covered in at least 4 threads since I’ve been here.
The answer: It does that “now”, it didn’t in “antedeluvian” eras, when Cecil’s post show him as a Guest.
Look up the “details” if you must, but there are none different from the above.
Ever since we started using vBulletin software, sig lines have no longer been part of the post, but rather a characteristic of each member. Thus, each person only has one at a time, which is added to each post when the page is generated. Thus, every time you have used your signature since 4/27/00 will now show your current signature. I still have the same signature I had then, so it doesn’t make much of difference for me.
Sig test…
BTW, Commader Fortune is not “a guy”.
Just checking something…
Evilbeth: FYI, I think it’s “Pooh-Bah”
Hey, I’m the…whatever it’s called! I’ll spell it how I want!! 
Thanks! I’ll fix it!
How’s this?
Just right.
By the way, I happen to know the spelling of “Pooh-Bah” because it was the title I was given as commissioner of my fantasy hockey league. I needed to know the proper spelling and found it in the dictionary (also learned that it was from The Mikado, a Rogers and Hammerstein play).
[sub]Normally, if it isn’t Shakespeare, I couldn’t give a shit.[/sub]
Doobie, doobie, do…
Having just seen Topsy-Turvy, I can state with a fair bit of confidence that The Mikado is not a Rodgers and Hammerstein play. 
Everybody knows it’s Rodgers and Hart!
Or maybe it’s Hollywood and Vine.
Cash and Carry?
It’s Gilbert and Sullivan, of course.

"I’ve got a little list . . . "
Open mouth, insert foot. :eek:
I have no idea why I typed “Rogers and Hammerstein”.
Geez, I can’t believe I managed to mix that up in the time it took me to close the dictionary, put it back on the shelf, and type “Rogers and Hammerstein” (it’s pretty obvious I looked it up; I’ve never even seen the Mikado).
Oh, as a baseball fan, if I were going to goof it up, I should have typed “Tinker to Evers to Chance” (Yeah, yeah–Harry Steinfeldt was the third basemen. THAT much I knew.)
Anyway, mea summa culpa.
