Changing Signature

[+jhuoni]

A while back, I changed my "signature" in forums. However it still shows the old one. Any suggestions on how to correct this, or am I doomed to be known for my snide remark: "It's Just A Game" forever?

 

This is how I did it: Profile - Account Details - Edit - Profile Details - Forum Signature - Save Changes.

 

If it says "It's just a game" at the bottom of this message it didn't work. If it says otherwise, it did and I will again look like a fool.

Good. It didn't work.

 

Any suggestions?

Try logging out of these forums, and then logging back in.

That didn't do it.

That didn't do it.

Logging out of the forums usually works. Double-check your account settings again to make sure it shows the new signature. I'd put money on it still showing the old signature there.

I changed my signature one time (had a typo in it) and did all of the aforementioned, including clearing the cache, and it didn't "work". What did work was waiting for some time. And that was with IE. I haven't tried it with Chrome or Firefox. And by "some time" I mean it took like 3 days.

That didn't do it.

 

And it still hasn't changed...

 

Let's see if it did now.

That didn't do it either

I was in the process of typing up a response saying that if you had double-checked everything, and if it still wasn't changing, to contact Groundspeak, but then I did some testing. I tried adding a signature in my account details and logged out of the forums, and it hasn't shown up. I tried saving the signature on both the Waymarking.com and Geocaching.com flavours of the account details page (note that it showed on both after being added to one, so they're correctly tied together), but that didn't make a difference. I'd say this is a problem bigger than just you, and it may warrant posting a bug report in the Geocaching.com Web Site forum (that's the best place to post bug reports about the Groundspeak forums). Once it's posted there, others will likely try it out and we'll see if it's affecting everyone or just a few unlucky members.

There's a problem with the site and Groundspeak is aware of it.

I'm not sure when it got fixed, but my "old" signature is gone.

 

Thank you very much!

 

Now I guess I should find something better than:

"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." - Douglas Adams

This bug is back again. I made a change sometime LAST WEEK and it shows in my GC profile, but not in my messages in WM forums.

BTW, I finally changed my signature yesterday. It still didn't show any different today, though I had logged out (signed off) entirely after changing it. I cleared the IE cache and it started showing up the new signature. So it only took a day this time. Not bad, considering how seldom I change it -- only the second time (and the first change was due to a typo on my part).
