I just had a look at DriveAccord.net which is a XenForo forum, and they have signatures but with really small text. That's another option.
Are we not doing signatures?
EDIT: Worked easy enough, but I am wondering what size those test pics are 7? I'm wondering if I go take a pic with my phone camera if it will say it's too big a file size too.
Depends on the phone used to take the picture and the camera's settings. Mine, for example, will not upload directly from my phone because the pictures are usually too big. I have to upload to Google Drive from my phone, download to my computer and resize with Paint or PhotoShop, then upload. I'm not sure if the admins have explored changing the maximum file size for attachments yet, but based on how advanced cell phone cameras have become, it would be a good idea to increase the maximum file size.
Yea, we are only talking about being able to snap a photo on mobile and quickly upload it without having to screw around resizing.Testing pictures for mobile...

No signatures is really hard to believe. I've been on tons and tons of different internet discussion forums over the years and there's ALWAYS been a signature option, until seeing this one.
Maybe the admins decided against signatures because they felt it would be too clunky, and they wanted to streamline the look of forum posts? Maybe the lack of signatures improves the mobile browsing experience?
I'm on a few other forums (using vBulletin mostly) that have imposed character or line limits in signatures. Maybe that's a compromise worth exploring?
Full Size test from iPhone...
Success!
Thanks.Hot Off The Press...Max file size for attachments has just been increased 8 Times!
I don't know of this is possible, but the old forum would send "New Post" emails with an excerpt so you could decide if you wanted to bother clicking on it to read it in its entirety. This one does not.
Thanks, sm1ke.Hi AD, there is an option to enable this feature in your Preferences.
Click on your user name at the top of the window, then click on "Preferences". On this screen, beside "Content options", ensure that the boxes beside "and receive email notifications" is checked. Click on the "Save" button at the bottom, and you should be good to go. Screenshot for reference:

If you already have those boxes checked and you're still not getting emails, please let Antoine know via PM.
Thanks, sm1ke.
I probably was not very clear. I'm getting emails that notify me that a new post exists. The prior forum's emails included an extract from that new post so we could see if we wanted to bother going to it to read the entire thing.
I was wondering if this is a function that can be turned on.
Yeh, if you look at that other forum, you'll see it's likely vBulletin, same as our old one was.Ah I see, I think I just misunderstood you. I see what you're asking about now. One of the other forums I frequent includes that excerpt in the email notification, but I don't have the email notification enabled for this forum, so I had no idea that it didn't provide the excerpt. My bad!
