Mariner Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Don't understand why when I post it says I'm in Frostproof, FL. Haven't been there for over two months. I updated my profile, but it hasn't changed anything. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 It does that because you have it in your signature line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skp51443 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 rynosback, The signature currently in your profile is used for all your posts, past and present. The forum just pulls it from the profile and puts it under the post when the web page is created in the server so old posts will show the current signature the next time they are viewed.

Kirk W Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 To add to what Stanley said, if you go in and edit your signature line or change your Avatar, both will then be changed in all posts ever made. Neither of those are physically or digitally in the forum but are added there from the data currently in use when you actually open the view on your computer. Thus when Mariner edited his signature line form Frostproof, FL as mentioned in his first post and changed it to Maryland, all places where his signature shows are now changed.

Correct, once a change is made it is made on ALL of your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your signature is different then your profile. As they are two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch_12078 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm well aware of where my signature displays. I'm also well aware that to change it, I must use my profile settings. The link to my profile also shows in every post I make. What's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
