Signature question

sdmitch · 17 Dec 2011, 15:08

This is a SketchUcation question but I couldn't find an option for that. I have been using and attaching a signature for months but recently I unchecked the include signature option for a post. I later re-checked the option but the signature was not attached to subsequent post. I went to User Control Panel and attempted to Edit Signature but now it tells me that I am not authorized to use a signature. What can I do to fix this problem.

Edit your post and see at the bottom to attach your signature (I did it for this post of yours - all seems to be working fine).

The option was checked when I asked the question but the signature hasn't been included.

The option doesn't stay selected. I am in edit mode now and have checked the option again.

Well, I do not know why it is happening... When I checked it, it added the signature automatically. Sorry, I am stumped.

This is where you could set to attach your signature by default but as far as I can tell, it is set "yes" for you.

It's probably a cookie thing. Delete your cookies and return to the SCF site to set the signature option.

There's also a 100 character limit

Gaieus, That makes two of us. I had been to all those places as well. I logged out and logged back in thinking that might reset things but no. I changed my password just for the fun of it, didn't help.

Dave, I deleted all the board cookies twice, nada.

Rich, The signature is the same as it has always been. I can't change it because I'm 'not autorised'

Maybe it will mysteriously get its' mind right at some point but, if you should happen to think of anything else I could try, please let me know.

ps. Attach a signature is checked.

Very strange. I can't see anything that says you aren't authorized to add a signature and everything seems to be set up to display it.

Gaieus · 17 Dec 2011, 16:09

Try now.

Gaieus · 17 Dec 2011, 16:16

Yeah. I don't know what he's talking about!

sdmitch · 17 Dec 2011, 16:17

Weird. I just added one to mine and at least I can see it.

That is what I get.

It appears that some kind of Forum permission setting got scrambled, apparently random, probably sunspots.

I just happened to be viewing the Plugins Index and noticed that my signature showed up at this location: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=24826#p336716

However, at the moment of this writing, I cannot say that clicking on the above link will show the signature.

Well, it did show up. So, why does it not show up otherwise?
