Retroactive Sigs on GFY - GoFuckYourself.com

HighRoller · 08-08-2008, 03:40 PM

If you add a signature on GFY control panel is their a way to have it retroactive to the other posts from the same screenname from before the signature was added? Just curious

baddog · 08-08-2008, 03:53 PM

To previous posts that had no sig?

klaze · 08-08-2008, 03:53 PM

my head exploded from reading that.

and no. well sure anything is possible but I doubt the admins here will do it for you...

I think that would be a board-wide setting. Some forums are like that, some are like this.

I'm pretty sure that is already in effect. The signature you have when you make the post isn't tied to the post forever. If you change your sig, it's changed in all your past posts.

Nope... I had no sig at all for about 1200 posts and looking back at some of them, they all have no sig on them right now.... Something changed, because to be honest you USED to be right... GFY used to carry your sig to all posts...

Of course, this will kill the sigwhores - and postcounts don't become relevant anymore.

Yeah...now I'm seeing that he might now have ever had a sig. If I change my sig right now and go back to all my old posts, it does indeed change to the current sig setup.

I guess if there never was a sig to begin with, there's nothing to swap out for the new sig.

Yes I have seen other forums where you can update the sig later, I thought it use to work that way, so probably no retroactive

HighRoller · 08-08-2008, 04:13 PM

It does change if you change it, on all posts I believe, it's just if there wasn't one from before

baddog · 08-08-2008, 05:37 PM

If there was no sig before, there won't be one added. If you had one, they will all be updated to a certain point. Don't know the cutoff, but probably an upgrade long ago as evidenced here: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showpo...5&postcount=25

the DB has a notation for if a sig was present and the old DB kept your sig in it per post.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
