Show member's signature only once in showthread

hi there

This hack displays member's signature only once in a thread regardless of how many posts he have.. only 1st post will have his sign..

I thought about this idea for my forums and i found it very good especially when you have lots of members with lots of BIG signs full of images..

I think this should affect page loading time and of course decrease load on browser rendering engine...

Try it if u have time.. & let me know ur opinion

i think if this was a user option that would be great for any users who wanted it on or off.

Same problem on 3.5.3
Any solution for this yet? Users find it really anoying, but I find the overdose of signatures anoying

Ok installed this hack and it works good but it limits the signature to one signature per page not per thread. Any way to fix this so it only shows it once per thread???

Thanks,

I found the straight template hack didn't work very well for me...signatures would appear and disappear on refreshes...

This hack seems to work much more consistantly, but gives me the double-post error with the quick reply...any word on this?

I think this needs to be fixed. because version 3.5.2 after installed I received

"This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes. You will be redirected to that thread."

Yup, this caused the same problem for me and also a problem on editing a post.... A few hours of my time down the drain. But, hey... thanks anyway

same thing here.. now i dont know where i found this.. but it was given by another admin buddy of mine..

Signature only on first post VB3.5

This will cause each user's signature to be shown only on their first post on each page.


Template MOD:

In the postbit or postbit_legacy template, 

Find :

<if condition="$post['signature']">

And replace it with this one:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

this works in 3.5X .. problem is obviously a template edit oppossed to the product. The small annoyance is after a forum upgrade you know the deal..

Here's where I found it:

(Works fine. After a QuickReply, the poster may see their .sig appear, but if it's not their first post/reply, on refresh it goes away. And other thread participants only see the .sig once.)
