    Signatures show only once per thread, why?

    My forum was upgraded from 3.6 to 3.7.2 pl1

    -Signatures are only showing ONCE per thread. I want to display them all the time.

    -Checked suspect file versions, nothing shown.
    -Disabled all plugins via config.php, didn't work.

    What Can I do?

          vBSEO has the option. Its not a default feature of vBulletin.

              vBSEO doesn't have a feature like that. It is really amazing how you try to bash vBSEO with vbulletin problems. And i strogly suggest you read threads carefully.

              First post :

              Disabled all plugins via config.php, didn't work.
              When all plugins are disabled via config.php vbseo is also disabled.

              Try bashing another product Zach

                Not true. You also have to remove all the vBSEO files from the includes/xml directory and remove any vBSEO-related lines in .htaccess.

                As for the original question, there is no option in the default vB for signatures to appear only once per thread. That has to be from an add-on or modification. What add-on that may be I have no idea since it's not our job to provide support for the hundreds of third-party add-ons that are available.

                To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

                Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions


                You will also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.

                Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it.

                  Unfortunately True Steve ,

                  As the problem related above should only arise via plugin system. Disabling plugins via config.php does that. I know how vBSEO works way better than you Steve.

                    You have to remove the vBSEO file from the 'includes/xml 'directory to remove it from the vB Admin CP. You also have to remove that vBSEO related lines from .htaccess to completely remove the rewrite statements. Those are facts, whether you want to acknowledge them or not.

                    Nonetheless your messages are off-topic. If you want to help this person, then you are free to do so. Otherwise you should not post in this thread any longer.

                      Revert your postbit and postbit_legacy templates.
