Hm, except it doesn't seem to be working quite right? I have my hidden sig settings as:

Enable: Yes
Hidden Sig Usergroups: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8
Hidden Sig Users:
Minimum Posts: 0
Opening Spoiler Code: (unedited from default)
Closing Spoiler Code: (unedited from default)
Hide for User? No
Prevent Sigs Completely? Yes

I can still see sigs when logged in as a regular registered user (usergroup 2). :(

EDIT 1 - If I set it to have a minimum post threshold before user can see sigs, I can only see the Administrator's signature, all others are hidden.

EDIT 2 - If I leave the post count limit to 0, I can see all user sigs.

I just installed the mod and it is working as expected (it's an old mod so I didn't have it on my 4.1.12 forum until now.)

You have "Hide for User" set to No- this means the user logged in will ALWAYS see his signature. So you would need to check from a different account.

If your goal is to turn off visible signatures for those usergroups please try with "Hide for User" set to Yes and see if it works as you expect.

Maybe I am misunderstanding this setting:

Hidden Sig Usergroups

Is that the group(s) that cannot see sigs, or the group(s) whose sigs are hidden? Though it doesn't seem to work either way. I don't want users of group 2 to be able to see anyone's sigs (including group 44). I've set "Hidden Sig Usergroups" to 2 (could still see sigs as a user of group 2) and then tried 44 (in case I misunderstood how the setting worked) and could still see sigs. It doesn't seem that anything I do in the settings will prevent users of group 2 from seeing sigs. :?

Hidden Sig Usergroups = Any users in these groups will have their sigs hidden to EVERYONE

EXCEPT in the chase "Hide for User" is set to NO i which case sigs of those users will be hodden to EVERYONE but themselves. (So the user doesn't know their sig was hidden.)

There is no function to disable the viewing of sigs by certain usergroups- kind of the opposite intent of this mod.

Well, shoot. I have the opposite need of this mod, then! Surely there is a simple toggle somewhere that I could "flip the switch" on this one. I'll have to play with it sometime. :) The way our forum works is that registered, but unpaid, users are not to be able to see the signatures of our paid users.

I can set you up with something to do that, it isn't difficult, just wasn't the point of this mod.

Not that you have to explain yourself to me but I always considered things the opposite way- If anything I'd want to FORCE "free" users to see signatures of paid members- not the other way around... but I guess it takes all types.

So you just want a mod where you can select usergroups that can't see anyone's signatures?

That's exactly what I need - to be able to specify the user groups who cannot see signatures. The reason is because our community is very tight-knit and the (paid) members value their privacy. Unpaid members can only see some forums, cannot post, cannot see profiles and shouldn't see sigs. We have run it this was for years (forum is 8 years old now). :)

OK... I didn't feel like doing all the "paperwork" associated with doing a real mod here so I have it available for free download on my site if you want it:

It's a pretty simple mod all things considered, the options should cover your needs.

Awesome! THANK YOU!

Worked perfectly. Thanks!
