Anyone know how the new signatures actually work or successfully revised one?

I just changed mine and it seems to have worked ok.

Please don't go Jacks - in the great scheme of things it's really not that important. Don't make us miss out on your humour and cheerleading skills.

Fixed it, it was showing two blank lines.

In that case then jacks needs to email a board guide and ask why her sig was deleated when it never contained any links. Her sig/sig space is not lost forever she can still use it as long as it is within the new rules.

That's true PAP she can of course put in a new sig, but I can appreciate why she's narked and is making a stand.

The signature rules have apparantly be brought in because of a lot of complaints. Perhaps the process for deleting sigs should also be changed because looking around the forum there seems to be a fair few complaints about how this is handled. There appears to be a general lack of courtesy in all aspects of life nowadays.

Several points to clarify, first a Board Guide has nothing to do with the deleting of sigs nor has any knowledge of why a sig might have been deleted, they are not party to decisions made by the abuse team.

I have, however, already emailed abuse regarding this whole situation this morning as I think what has happened was a mistake, pure and simple, no conspiracy, no dishonesty, no-one being mean and all the other accusations that have been levelled at Martin and his team so far.

I personally reported Jacks post on the thread last night to say that I thought they had read Martin's post wrongly...

What i dont want is massive meaningless signatures that clutter everywhere up.

This is a working policy - lets see how it goes. Thats why we gave a weeks warning - the impact is likely to be very limited on most people.

Ok, thanks for replying Martin, I'll leave my sig as it is until such times as I can update it then.

What Martin is saying is lets see how it goes as the impact will be limited, I thought Jacks took that to mean that it will be changed back and/or it would be changed only for people with several challenges in their signatures so I asked abuse to clarify with the user.

I assume, and if its my fault then I apologise, that FT3 made a mistake and removed the signature and I'm quite sure that Forum Manager will sort this out as soon as possible. However, mistake or not, no-one deserves the level of nasty remarks that have been made about Martin and his team on this thread.

Long signatures have long been a problem and it is nothing to do with debt, there are plenty of long signatures showing weekly weight loss or weekly shopping budgets, and the decision to reduce the size of signatures has not been taken lightly and with a good deal of discussion by the team.

I hope this goes some way to helping address some of the issues in this thread.
