To disable the forum signature, find and remove this code in gateway.php:

PHP Code:

            if ($newthread['showsignature']){
                $get_userinfo=$DB_site->query("SELECT field1 AS signature,usertitle,customtitle ".
              "FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user LEFT JOIN " . 
              TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield ON user.userid=userfield.userid WHERE
              user.userid={$newthread['userid']} LIMIT 1");

              $userinfo=$DB_site->fetch_array($get_userinfo);

              $signature .= "\n\n";
              $signature .= format_text($userinfo['signature']);
            } 


The newsgroup signature (with links to your forum and the thread) will still be present. The large forum signatures will no longer be added.
