The BB sig is in your email options: setup -> email options

As for the other 'signatures' Chaps, you're missing the point.

There's no problem with signatures when they are used correctly, it's just that signature info should be in the signature field, then it's up to the user if they want to see at or not.

Repetative info in the post field is just spam, pure and simple.

Ok so I don't put that I'm sending from my phone but I would still include the app that I'm using. If it wasn't for seeing it in on another thread in a signature I wouldn't have found that app.

So that is informative which is what a signature is all about. What information you give there is up to you but should be personalised.

I don't believe you can strip out this from Tapatalk as it is included as just standard text just on the end of your post.

However if you wish it could be done via banned words but now you are talking censorship and I for one would not be happy if that was were we are going with this.

It is one thing to block/remove obscenities but to block other information raises serious questions.

I for one have found the information gleaned on Tapatalk from someones signature to be excellent and very useful. It let's me keep up with things on the forum for which I would have to make a special decision to boot the computer and check.


This is from my Mobile device using Tapatalk the easyway too keep informed.

I agree that the signature does give relevant and useful information and I agree that it's up to the reader to turn on or off the signature view, I just don't think we need to know what method a poster used to send his post . If I added the details below, every post, I feel sure that most people would get bored of the uselessness of the information. I'm just asking for people to keep information relevant. I don't think that's too much to ask, do you?
