C.Birch, Paratek: sorry for the mistakes. Yeap, it's cb_signature. Fixed the missing '$'.

Now supports random signatures

For those whom installed this, please feedback if you encounter any problem. Will do a full release if no major bugs are reported.

Maybe in the drop down to pick the sig you could have the fist so many characters show up so we can chnage to another sig if we want to. It can still stay random, just gives us an idea of what sig will display. Does that make any sense?

urm....in the sense that theres an option in the dropdown that selects a random one of your saved sigs. So, that you dunno what one will be added. I like this idea cos ive created many sig images, and dont want to waste them all

[C.Birch]

updated all working great here

[Sephiroth 9999]

Make an input text field to give the sigs a title an display the titel instead of sig 1, sig2, ..., sigX

[Boofo]

How would you do that, sir?
