The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Only show signature on a user's first post on a page

On a very large forum where I am an administrator, we have set vBulletin to only show a user's signature on the first post of each page. This makes things look much cleaner, because you don't have multiple copies of signatures cluttering things up.

It's very easy to do.

First way is a simple edit to the postbit template.

Replace this:

Code:

<if condition="$post['signature']">

With this:

Code:

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

The second way is through a vBulletin mod available at http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=148685. This will give you an option in the admincp to turn this feature on or off.
