If only one or two posts from each thread are displaying, this is likely due to some issue with the signatures. Until we determine what can be done about it, here is a workaround:


  • Go to the "Look and Layout Preferences" settings of your member profile.
  • Make sure the "Don't show users' signatures." box is checked.
  • Click the "Change Profile" button at the bottom of the page.
That's it. It's far from a perfect fix, but it should allow members to browse the forums until we get this noodled out.

(BTW, this workaround was suggested in an earlier thread, but it wasn't in the first message, so many people wouldn't see it unless they had already found the fix. Hopefully, everyone can see the first post in this thread.)

The signature-related problem has been fixed and signatures are working again! Thank fearless admin randyripoff for alleviation of this recent issue and the long-awaited re-activation of signatures.  :thumbup:

There are a couple caveats for using a signature (see the other announcement), but it should be safe to uncheck the "Don't show users' signatures" box in your profile.

The the other announcement for a little more detail.
