I was going back and forth about that. I think, since it won't change (unless the user changes his/her birthday, and I've made an allowance for that), it makes more sense to have it stored, that way it only needs to determine it once, and from there it doesn't add anything - user.* is already in the query that gets pulled for showthread.php, so there's no additional queries, and the only thing added is the little bit of code to find out if the user's sign is blank in the DB.

Could go either way.
