Yeah, Having had 24 years in I.T. I knew it wasn't on my end. 
Thanks for the link. 
Hay... you're an Admin. Can you square it away?

Hi, Chris.  This is sort of unusual, having no option to use a signature file and not being able to use the avatar option that is seemingly available.  This is just a suggestion and I have no idea if it will fix the problem you have. But, why not try?

From the User Control Panel, select Edit Options and make sure that Display User's Signatures and Display User's Avatars is checked.  It's worth a shot.



Also, check and see if the "Signature" box is checked when you are actually composing a post.  This will only show up when you are making a post, it's not in the Control Panel.  And these are just ideas, as it doesn't seem like it would affect anything but, you never know.

Also, are you using an outdated browser, perhaps?  Maybe try another browser.  After making any changes, sign out and back in.

The "Change Signature" Link showed up in the Control Panel/Dashboard today. 
Thank you for all the help. 

Best Regards, StageMan

I had 24 years in the I.T. Industry. I am well versed in Forums. I have looked in my Profile for "Signature" to make a Signature File. To no avail!

I used the "Help" and searched for "Signature File". There are no instructions on how to "effectively" use this Forum Board's functions. 

How do I create a Signature File in Gimp-Forum. 

Thank You!

There is no explicit provision for signature files. You can put a BBCode [img] tag/link in your signature text to include an image that comes from "somewhere", typically imgur.com or some such image site.

We don't support sig files carried by the forum because they end up being a sizable part of the network bandwidth (this network is financed by our own funds, so we try to keep the expenses low). Consider also that some of our users are bandwidth-challenged, and the information content of sig images is fairly low.

Got it OfNuts! 
The Change Signature link showed up today, but I'm taking what you said into consideration. 
I appreciate your candor and will not be including a signature to limited bandwidth usage.
