When I join a forum, the first thing I do is to disable the viewing of signatures. So I tried that here, but it did not work for me, so I decided to see if was platform dependent.
I have unchecked the "view user signatures" but I still see the signatures with chrome, firefox, or safari on a Mac.
I tried with with my android phone, and the signatures are gone.
Next, I logged in with a windows 10 PC, and tried Edge, chrome, and firefox. I got the same results as the mac, signatures were present, despite the setting.
I even tried changing the user agent with chrome on the mac to every available option, but the signatures are still there.
Any way I hope an admin sees this and maybe there is a setting that can be changed on the forum software to make that setting work for all platforms.
