• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Signature in the settings can not be edited

Hey IN, do you have that little 'edit pencil' button showing higher up on the screen, out to the right from your username?? If so, click on that. It should (might?? :dontknow: ) take you to another Control Panel View of your User Profile, and in that, about halfway down the left hand column, there should be a text box labelled 'Signature', with [Edit Signature] underneath it. Click on [Edit Signature] & when the screen paints up, type away! Once you've got what you want entered, simply hit Save, then when you get the msg 'Signature Saved Successfully' it'll revert to the Control Panel View & you can back out of there knowing your new signature has been saved & if you've set your Profile to display your sig, it'll show that on every post you make/ever made! :ohyea:

That Control Panel View will also let you edit your Avatar, your Profile Pic, and your Signature Pic, but most of the other text fields are just there to show you what you've entered in the screen shown in your screen dump above. :thumbup:

Hope that helps some. But if not, drop me a PM with the details of what you want to see in your Sig line & I'll have a go at putting it in there. No guarantees mind you, but I can try! :lecturef_smilie:
 
Thank you Peter Aawen
"do you have that little 'edit pencil' button showing higher up on the screen, out to the right from your username?"
No, which means No Control Panel.
I use Linux Mint with latest FireFox. I am not willing to use another browser, sorry.

Try clicking on your username where it's shown on the left of your post above, then 'View Profile'. That should paint a screen that has a whole 'nuther volumn to the LEFT of the info in your pic above, and at the top LH side of that column it should show your username in Blue - about an inch to the right of your username, but still in the left hand column and to the left of the 'Your activity' button, there should be that 'edit pencil'..... do you have that? :dontknow:
 
Sorry, nothing there, but

Just as when I click on the "view profile" link above right. BUT clicking on "Send Private Message" will load the profile editing page, an interesting design.

^^^ Yep, next try??? :dontknow: At the very least, in the interests of laying all the options out for anyone else, here goes! :rolleyes:

Click on 'Settings' up the in the top RIGHT corner, just to the right of My Profile, which should bring up a page with a narrow 'Settings' column on the LEFT & a wider 'Subscribed threads with New Posts' block across the RH 2/3rds of the page, very much like your 2nd image above in post #5. At the top of the settings column should be a block labelled 'My Messages' with a list of options in it, Inbox, Sent Items, etc; below that a block labelled 'My Subscriptions' with a folder & an edit button in it, then below that a block labelled 'My Settings'!

In that 'My Settings' block, there should be a bunch of sub headings, the first of which is 'My Settings'; and about 4 items down that list you should find 'Edit Signature' :ohyea: Hit that line & you should get a page with the same narrow column on the left, and the RH 2/3rds of the screen devoted to a 'Preview' block displaying what your sig currently looks like; an 'Edit Signature' text block with all the text editing buttons; a 'Signature Picture' block below that; and finally a block labelled 'Signature Permissions' - but it's the text block you'll want, isn't it?! Make your changes/additions in there & then 'Save Signature' (or Preview if you wanta check it all out first ;) ) :yes:

You gotta have that option, don't you?? Most of this stuff is all part & parcel of the V-Bulletin Platform, and really shouldn't have anything much to do with the Browser you're using, which is why I haven't mentioned/suggested any changes to it. :thumbup: But this lot is the last way I know of short of you sending us the changes you want so one of us Mods can make them, or failing that, maybe even AnthonyG, the Admin here?!? Si I hope THIS method works for you.... if it doesn't just PM the changes you want made & we'll give it a go! :cheers:

Thanks again Peter Aawen and CopperSpyder,

Clicking on "Send Private Message" will load the profile editing page the same way as clicking on "Settings".

Sorry for the late response.

It's been awhile since I've edited my sig, but I found it! At the top of the page click on Forum Actions then Edit Profile. On the left you'll find a link to Edit Signature.
