No, you cant change your sig from the profile page, so how do you do it? I remember typing it in at one time, but I can’t find the place. HHEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!

That’s where it is, on the profile page.  
I just came from there fixing mine.  
Maybe you got the boxes mixed up with the “biography”?

CC,

I’ve also been trying unsuccessfully to change my sig, as you can see by the thread right below you. (Well, until this bump. :))

If you see a sig below, I’ll explain my newest idea and how it works. If you don’t, maybe Tuba or UncleBeer will help us out.

Stephen, make sure you check the “Show Signature” box when you submit a post.

Stephen, I edited your post above . . . the signature box was unclicked.

When I clicked it, as you see above, it popped into place.

That was your problem.

Holy Moses! You mean, when the mods and admins edit posts, they can see which BOXES we’ve clicked?

That’s it…no more posting from home by ME when I’m dressed in a frilly nightgown and high-heeled mules.

Arnold to the rescue! See, what you needed to do was…
