Some time ago, I saw a mod that prevent to show the signature more than once on each topic (or page, I'm not sure). Does someone knows this mod or knows the way to code it on Icy?

Thanks.

You are the man of strange requests...

I don't know this mod... and I won't code it, because I think it is totally unuseful.

Haha,

I'm totally agreee with you, MG.

The reason of my strange requests is because I have a forum for mommies and babies. As I have a only a few users and its like a community more than a publict information site, I can't be too hard on rules and punishments or I will end with an ampty forum.

Because 99% are all (not computer oriented) women I have to give "chewed" things to them. Also I have to be very flexible on all foto album related issues so they can be happy.

As result, I have a strong hosting with a ridiculous capacity and bandwith. You have to see all things I had to do to keep a balance between their "needs" and the stability of the site.

In this case, my requests is because they like to have huge signatures with 2, 3, o 4 pictures of photo arts of theirs children. And I like to limit the iterations of the signature for each topic so all they may see their signature, but only once by page or topic. This way, I can control the page load time and the visual size of the posts.

You can regiter to see what I mean. Zuker signed in as Test1, so I think you can use his account to try it.

But thanks, anyway, if I find the mod that I'm talking about, I will post it here for anyone with my situation.

Finally I found it. It is a small and simple mod. I installed it and it works great !!

The signature of each user shows only once on each page reducing dramatically the page load when the signatures has a lot of pictures or are heavy.

I'm including the mod if someone has the same problem as me and want to give it a try.

Very useful I co run a phpbb forum for a multiplayer game and our users make their own sigs sadly they like to show them all in there signature posts and anything that is said in the forums is out swayed by the sigs....

Sometimes you can only get 2 post per page depending on how many sigs have been made...

Any way enough of the chit chat...a great find...
