Does updating my sig line in my profile ever change sig lines on posts I’ve made previously? If this answer is “no”, I am either passing through some kind of time warp or quite insane. Thank you.
Your sig line used to read something very cynical, and perhaps slightly morbid, about large-scale auto euthanasia. Now it says, “This is my new sig line”, which is possibly the lamest sig line I’ve ever read.
I even read the FAQ and it didn’t mention this. On the other hand, it did mention something about being able to edit your posts. Which is also. Creepy.
No, Boris, you’re perfectly sane

Temporal fugue sig line
boris, in the old UBB software the sigs were permanently appended to the message. Now, the sigs are held in a separate table, and when the page is viewed the sig is pulled from that table and appended to the message for the duration of that view. When you change your sig in your profile, you’re updating that sig table, so all your sigs now show the new text.
It’s kinda annoying, but AFAIK the tech folks are still lookign at changing it. Tuba?
It can’t be changed. Sorry.
The techs do not want to hack the system much, if at all; every step you take away from the plain vanilla makes technical support and upgrade more of a problem.
We’re also aware we need to change/correct the boilerplate; we’re getting to things as we can. (There’s also a ton of broken links, we’re getting to those as we can as well.)

So then, my old pre-vB sig lines are imbedded, but my post-vB sig lines will be updated as I go? That explains a lot. I mean, I’ve seen a couple of non-conforming sig lines of mine floating around; they must just be UBB-era sig lines.
By George, I think you’ve got it.
