ok, wondering if one of the coding gurus could look at this idea for an upcomming mod.
Instead of signatures that allow for users to post there websites, why not add a couple of columns in the user table, which stores the users websites.
So say suppose a user wants to add a site, he would go to signatures and intead of finding a big textfield he would see these textfields.
Title Site 1 || Email || Status || Site Url
Just a Site || [info@site.com] ||[verfied] || www.site.com
Title Site 2...etc
The status field would have two options, verfied and unverfied. For a user to add an website, he must signup with the corressponding email for the site. He will then recieve an email to verfy, and if veried a link would be added. Two advantages with this, people will have to prove they own the site (less spam...etc) and adds trust to the overall forum.
Also, the number of sites in the signature can be dependent on the users usergroup, so members in higher user group would be able to add more sites.
yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada
