Well, I want to add a signature to my site (free), but it wont work...
I have all the options about always show signature and stuff, and I have even looked at some topics here. Nothing helped.
My site is http://glaceonms.forumotion.net/ .
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Your Signature

Signature settings are to be changed in your profile settings as well (in the top navigation bar) - just switch to the "Signature" tab there. The signature space is limited to 500 characters, this cannot be increased. You can use bbCode and HTML as well in your sig, if it has been allowed by the administrators in the admin panel (General >> Forum >> Messages & Email >> Allow HTML / BBCode).

My Signature is not displayed, what should I do?

In general, there are two settings that could be the reason for your sig not to be displayed. The first one is in your admin panel, where you can allow or deny the use of signatures on a global level. Go to "Users & Groups / Users / User Options" and set "Allow Signatures" to YES.

The second option can be found in your personal profile settings. Go to "Profile >> Preferences" and enable the option "Always attach my signature". Your signature should now be attached to all posts you make, if you actually have content in it.

Note: On some forum versions, it's possible that you still won't see your signatures on posts you have already made, although you have activated all necessary options. There is no other way to change this than to edit those posts and mark the box "attach my signature to this post" and save.

You should try to mark the boxes asking for your signature to be displayed in posts from your posting options that can be seen below the "reply box" on topics.

I do. It shows the line seperating the post and sig, but no sig comes up.

It is a pic.

Host: glaceonms.forumotion.net.
My name there is Hiiragi.

There is no option for image hosting with Servimg in the actual signature box. I notice the person with deltaFire signature on your forum is using image shack to host his signature.

I might be wrong but I think you were hot linking which is why your image has gone. You will need to upload it to a free external image hosting account like TinyPic Smile

Hey, I was going to point out that I was using Photobucket Images when the signature didn't work. I am going to use like yeah TinyPic.
