Can't add a signature?

You need to make at least five posts before you can add a signature to your posts.

 

The forum automatically applies usergroup promotions once every hour. When the next promotion interval is reached, you with then have permission to add a signature to your profile.

In plain English, just wait an hour and the option will be made available to you automatically.

 

Cpvr,

Thank you for another helpful suggestion. I've added this information to the welcome pm that new users receive upon registration.

 

Unfortunately, there's no way to control where the five posts should be made, nor their length. That's a limitation of the software.

The good thing is that anyone who is really interested in being involved in the community won't have a problem making five posts. This precaution is primarily to deter professional spammers.

By the way, it's rather amazing how many spammers have been trying to get on to this site. Each day anywhere from 5 to 10 spambots attempt to register. Sometimes far more. And this is for a forum that hasn't even been publicly launched yet!!!

Thankfully these bots are pretty easy to outsmart.
