sig changes
 

If you delete your signature in the User CP, your sigs in all previous posts by you will disappear.

I notice that the Cellar handles new signature changes a bit differently now.

Previously, new signature were applied to prior posts as well as new posts made after the change.

Now, if you introduce a new sig, it only applies to posts made after the change of signature.

It didn't used to be that way.

Not for me...just tested it.

Stupid
 

Its better that The signature changes in both prior and new. Its cool! Or as they say down south, Mucho Bueno

I'm guessing that it works like this:
 

(a) if you modify your sig, it replaces all previous signatures with the new information;

but

(b) if you empty the sig form and save the change to empty, subsequent entries in the sig form only appear in new posts;

or

(c) it's a bug;

or

(d) i'm losing my mind.

Re: I'm guessing that it works like this:
 

OK, just tested it as you said.

I'm going with c or d. :)

I'll guess that the behavior changed as we've upgraded versions - although we haven't done that in a while.

Hint: there is a "showsignatures" column in the table of posts, and sigs are saved in the user table, not the posts table. So sigs should follow the user, not the posts.

I just erased sig and saved and then added a new sig as below.

The sig applies to new posts, and some of the very recent posts, like this:

http://cellar.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1549

but not to the older posts, like this:

http://cellar.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1511

which isn't that old, because it was new to the Quality Images thread. This meow image did have a sig originally, but iit has not had any sig since the time when I recently cleared, saved and set a new sig. I think that goes for all my older posts which are now without signatures. Who cares? Not me really ... I mean really, not me.

So, I'd say it's (c) unless you guys are seeing my sig in the linked meow thread above.

In which case, it's definitely (d).

I can live with it, either way. :confused:

I just thought the Toad lived on bugs, so I should let him know where to find them.

The bug appears to affect only a few of my posts ... not all the older posts. So it is (d) after all.
