Thank you all for your efforts in running the site and forum over the years, especially to those who started it.
A thought to the present group. Would it be possible to have a message attached to our membership where you can give a brief personal and fishing history available to other members.
If anyone wants contact or more information they can always private message them. I would welcome thoughts about this from other members. Rhod

Hi Rhod,

firstly thank you for your kind comments.

regarding your suggestion the answer is I think yes, you can do this yourself I believe.

I've just been in to my profile and there is a box called "signature"


This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 1000 character limit.

My first attempt at making this work failed, even though I pressed "save"

I then had another go and noticed further down the profile an option to always add the "signature" and hopefully you will see this attempt at the end of this reply.

Haven't checked yet but it probably retro adds it to all previous posts.

As there is an option to always add it there may be a way to selectively add it ( not cracked this yet.

I suppose there would be a risk of the "signature" being misused but hopefully
not.

So if people like the idea I reckon they are free to have a play with their own profile.

(below here you will see my test go)

another option if someone wanted to add just a couple of words would be to add something to "location" on your profile,

eg "Kinmel Bay, Sturgeon specialist"

a more complex answer would be to add "special ranks" which would appear by your avatar under your screen name eg " lure specialist" but this would need moderators' assistance and might call for a re-working of the current ranking names, (quite a lot of work that one so not an option I'm favouring)

Opened a can of worms here!, I cannot find anything on your posts today, neither can I find signature on your or my profile, could be just for moderators? I will look into it more later.

Hi Rhod,

no can of worms it is a good idea!

Can you see where it says "test signature 1000 character limit" at the end of this post? - this is the signature bit which I inserted via editting my profile, not very exciting I know!  

A better example might be to look at MusselMan's posts, his reference to a tope is his signature, this was added by him  before he had mod access.

I've looked at your profile and you do have a signature option, the way it is visible to me the box you would type in is below the second wide blue line, remember to save and to tick "always add signature", however it might well not look the same to me as it would look to you or any other non mod (????)

If you or anyone else who is stuck wants some text adding as a signature  I could probably do it for you.

Everyone should be able to add a signature. I have been mentioning that Tope for 9 years now. We could perhaps have a suggested format.

Would need to be optional though, and not contain any data that would cause issue with General Data Protection Policy (GDPR)

Thanks to you both, I have found the "edit signature" box and it looks like it will work. I have not given it a go as it is not what I was aiming to do, I was thinking more of another category similar to say "New member introduction", it would need to be searchable such as alphabetical with your avatar. however I do not want to make more work for you as I could see it being either not used enough or loaded with members who have stopped using the site. So unless anyone else has a bright ideas, I think we will drop or "can" the idea. Thanks again, at the least I found bits of the forum I had not found before.
