How to set "show signature" checked

[Sting3r]

how do i set it so the "show signature" box is always checked. I think one my admins changed something and have no idea how to change it back. Ive looked through all the options and have no idea how to set it back. I want it so the default will show signatures at all time. Pic below.

Expand all vBulletin Settings in your ACP, and search for signature. You should be able to find it.

yes ive done that.

Ive checked "show signatures."
Ive checked the box that says "Display Signatures" thats under Default Registration Options.

nothing changed.

Hmm looked into this again. The "Show your Signature" on new post/thread, should always be on. The only way i can think of that would cause this, would be some hack/modification.

search for the following code in newreply.php and/or newthread.php:

PHP Code:

    if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] AND !$postpreview)
    {
        // signature
        if ($bbuserinfo['signature'] != '')
        {
            $checked['signature'] = HTML_CHECKED;
        }
        else
        {
            $checked['signature'] = '';
        }
    }

Hi Marco,

I have done the above too but it does not seem to reflect the new change for all current users. Is there a way to have every existing user's option set to Yes for displaying of signatures? Thanks!

This is a 6 year old thread...

Even after making this change, it won't affect any past posts. Are you sure? (Have you logged in as another account to check?) Are you using VB 3.x?
