I have just upgraded to vBulletin 3.0.6, from vBulletin 2.3. Overall, I'm very pleased, but I still have a few minor issues to work out.
Signatures are not consistently appearing on my board. I only have sigs enabled for moderators and admins.
I have done a lot of searching here to troubleshoot the issue, and I'm hoping I missed something obvious. I almost always find what I'm looking for by searching, but this time, I'm stumped.
My moderator and admin usergroups have signatures enabled in:
Admin CP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager -> Edit Usergroup -> Can Use Signatures
In my personal options, "Show Signatures" is checked in:
User CP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options -> Visible Post Elements
"Show your signature" is properly checked in Additional Options -> Miscellaneous Options on the posting screen when I make a new post.
I am familiar with php and mysql. I have entered the following query for all of my moderators/admins userids, and I've verified that it worked:
UPDATE post SET showsignature=1 where userid=xxx
The query allowed sigs to be properly displayed for all old posts, and the showsignature field of the post table was properly updated.
When I manually update the showsignature field for a certain post, then the signature shows properly for that post. However, on new posts, the showsignature field doesn't get updated. And, when I edit a new post, the "Show your signature" box is unchecked by default. If I check it, and save the post, the sig still doesn't show, and the showsignature field doesn't get updated unless I do it manually with an sql command.
What's the next step to take to troubleshoot this? Thanks for your help.
