How to get a signature

**wulaishiwo** · Mar 6th, 2011, 11:35 pm

Hi all,

I'm a new here and I would like to know when and how to get signature?

I've noticed most old members have signatures in their posts, but I can't find the 'Edit Signature' link in my control panel. What's the requirement of signature? Like ID age or posts count?

Thanks

The requirements are 50 posts and to have been a member for at least 2 days.

We are currently cracking down on members signing up for just wanting a sig link. If your here just for a backlink, then please add your link to the link directory. ( sorry for any impoliteness, but we have so many members signing up just to spam their sig link )

If not, I apologize and I look forward to seeing you as an active member of our community. Welcome to the forums.

I was just about the ask for a directory link when found it.

Any way lot of work to get to the signature. My opinion 30 will be enough but not by business.

Signature links are a privilege to those members who actually care about the forum. I actually wish more webmaster forums would have better restrictions on signature links to deter the people that just join to post once dropping sig links and abandon the forum never to be seen again.

It degrades the quality of the forum, as most of those types of people just post useless copy pasted junk.

I agree with you dWhite. I found forums that after: 10, 15, 30 post allowed you to post signature. Just said 50 might be to much. But the admin decides.

I have 50 posts yet still can not add a Sig

EDIT: Wait, yes I can!

Usually it takes some time after you make the minimum posts ... to activate the signature option in the control panel section ( max. some hours )

I suggest to all of you to read the forum rules for such questions before asking. I do not see any problems to read them, and really sure that the first meeting with any forum should start with it. Good luck.
