• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

OT: Signature disappeared...

My signature has disappeared, and I can't find signature options in Control Panel... Does anybody know what happened?
 
It's already been answered in the Newshawks thread - Signatures are only given to those who donate to the SoH funds...

So iff you can't find a signature setting, you obviously haven't donated...

Of course Chris's answer is correct but if you want the long answer read this thread

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=27832

The Short answer is Bots and Spammers will use the Signiture portion of a thread to place the URL of an image that contains a virus and or malware.

To prevent this from happening at SOH they have turned off signitures for members who have not donated.

The reason is Bots and Spammers do not ever donate and will never donate.

Its all part of security.

So if you want your signiture...

Donate a buck or two on the next bandwidth drive. Right now we seem to be doing fine and the next bandwidth drive is a couple of months away.
 
Putting a sig into the text of your message is easy. I am not sure that will stop the spammers and infecters. It merel means they will set up accounts and do what I did a few posts up.

The sig block is merely a "window" in the forum software that lets a user do automatically what he can do manually.
 
I have to plug my free paints somehow, don't I - no one pays my sixty pounds a year registration and hosting - and hopefully bug free hosting at that. Until I hear otherwise.

So... I still have around 15 or 16 hours left until the dateline finally wipes this date off the calendars, so... "Another brandy sour please barman!"

Oh. I am the barman. The steward of the bar that is. Now where did I put that textfile? Ah... here it is...

...and indirectly, I am no longer limited to 250 or 300 characters for a siggy, so I can technically go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and...

Oh, OK. Shutting up sir! Right away sir. Not signaturing anything sir. Just a spot of fun sir.

Jus' like that... hze hze hze
 
::LOL:: Good one Chris..
i'm sorry. i wish i could donate, but every month its a game of poker between myself and the electric company, and i already mostly go without food so donations and goodies have to take a back seat till jftc is rich and famous or social security stops paying the congressmen all that money i put in and giving me more of a human like existance..
Always
Pam
