(answered) signature disappearing

[Captain.Heroin]

It appears that my signature doesn't always appear in every post.

If I edit a post, that doesn't have the signature after I posted, it appears to me after I have saved my edit.

BUT, other people say they CANNOT see it! What gives?

I'm not sure if this is a "technical problem" as far as a prefix goes but I'm not sure what else to call it.


Any input/ideas are welcome.

Your signature only shows up on your first post in every page, not every post.

Sometimes I see it multiple times in a page, especially after I edit a post of mine.

So I take it, it's not supposed to be seen more than once per page? Why would I see it twice after editing a second post in the same page?

Thank you for responding fizzle! I really appreciate your help with this.

It'll show up twice if you do a "quick reply", but the second one goes away once you refresh the page.

Ahhhhh, thanks Fizzle!

Now I know I'm not crazy. I seriously was wigging out thinking, am I imagining things?

I guess this is resolved so you can close/re-tag it, or whatever it is you do when you resolve the issue.

Glad I could help!

If you don't mind me asking, do you know why it appears a second time before disappearing when you reload the page?

That kind of perplexes me.

If you don't know or there isn't a rational explanation, I'm OK with that.

Lets see...

*test test test*

Edit: Yep, ok, I would assume its because its just an automatic setting and so it takes refreshing the page for the system to recognize the once per page setting. Thats just a guess though.

That would be a correct guess. :D

Quick Reply skips reloading the page (hence "QUICK" in the title). A regular reply reloads the page when you submit, so it will go thru the process of checking the replies and only allowing the sig to show once per page. Manually reloading, or anytime you go into a thread, it goes thru that process and appears as intended. The quirkiness of the Quick Reply is a bug feature that does no harm and gets cleared up easily enough, so there isn't any effort by the software coders to address it.

Ah Thanks for the more detailed explanation.

Thank you TLB, I can wrap my mind around this now.
