Important - signatures - 20-12-2004, 11:27 AM

You are welcome to read this thread of course - but the bottom line is you will be allowed a signature after at least 30posts and 30days on the forum (you need both btw)



As a temporary measure I have had to disable live links to your signatures

I hope this won't be for too long

Hi Peter

Will they reinstate themselves or will we need to rewrite them again when they're back?

Oh look; my code! - I feel all naked and exposed!!!

Ok what I have done is the following:

All new members - no sigs allowed

You will be allowed to add your sig after 60 days of being a member and 30 posts.

As a treat you can also change the description under your name

But why is this happening? I understand people may be spamming the forums, but I think this usually gets noticed and reported by members.

People who genuinely provide good insight on this forum and help other members with important posts I think are entitled to include their link/message on their signature.

I posted an introductory message and could not have the links to be clickable. Even though I tried to remove the vb linking code and just leave the urls, but the vb code kept appearing again. Can't remove the tags.

signatures are back - sorry , I press the wrong button !

and you are right ARTzWeb.net, this is for spamming purposes

I am getting fed up with the spam posted and I cant monitor 24 hours per day

I've lowered the threshold to 30 days/ 30 posts - reach these, and you can have your sig

There is a risk that having to "do" 30 posts will just mean we fill up the forum with posts that are posted for sake of reaching 30. I only contribute when I feel that can add some value; in that way, based on what I've been able to usefully add so far, I will have to wait another 6 months to get my signature back.

Philip you can have your signature after 30 days of you being a member.

The 30/30 clause peterjhale set I think means that you do not need 30 posts + 30 days of being a member.

The problem is that there aren't many conversations and new posts on these forums, I think it needs to spice up the debate (any debate). I will try to find some news to post. The problem is that the news I'm into are technology/Internet/web hosting/internet marketing related and I'm not sure how interesting these may be for the users of this forum.

Merry christmas to those who believe!

Hi Peter

I'm coming up to 30 days and have more than 30 posts to my name so far.

Does the sig link activate automatically ?

I look forward to your reply.

Regards

Glenn

Does Qualified Member relate to the number of posts or length of time on the Forum ?
