We used to have a PHPBB forum which we allowed IMG signatures, when we moved to VB we never activated the IMG in signatures, some people were a little annoyed but at the end of the day I supply a free forum so its on my terms. I like to think that my forum is strong enough for them not to go else where purely because they can not post an IMG in their signature.

At the end of the day the function is there to be used We just want to be able to give members something for thier money when they want to be a full member. The same for the advertising.


Marco - yep thats the problem the function is global but I want it to be per usergroup. I think I have found a way to do it though bu another hack that allows users to upload a signature to the forum, apparently this can be turned on or off per usergroup.

However I would prefer a much simpler hack that would not mean users using our memory.
