This is probably the wrong place to post this. If so, forgive me.
I've got a question for you wonderful vB brainiacs. Is it possible to eliminate signatures from appearing on a forum by forum basis? I have one forum on my site that I would like to prevent any sigs from appearing in. Any thoughts?
Thanks-

Yes - indeed this is certainly possible.
I would use several conditionals to check for the forumID and only post the signature for posts in those forumID's. You can have the conditional in the postbit or postbit_legacy template depending which layout you use on youu board.
I believe the syntax of the conditional is thus;
<if condition="$forumid = 'x'">
signature code here
</if>
... where 'x' is the forumID

Thank you for the info! Our race schedule has been busy the last couple weeks, and I don't get online as often as I'd like, otherwise I would have stopped by sooner.
Question:
I understand your suggestion, but I have one more question. I have over 30 different forums on my website, would I need to add 30 different conditionals to my postbit_legacy template, or is there a way to list them all in the same conditional? If so, what would be the proper syntax for multiple forum numbers?
Thanks!

Actually, this is the sig code currently:
<if condition="$post['signature'] AND $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>
How would I modify that to make it work with your suggestion, and for 30+ forums?
Forgive my ignorance.

You'll just have to edit this one time, with the forum id's seperated by coma's (,) i beleive, try that and see if it works. IT might not, i'm no expert ;) Just a thought
<if condition="$forumid = 'x,x,x,x,x'">
<if condition="$post['signature'] AND $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>
</if>
Or maybe even, I think one of these ways should work just fine, just replace X with your forum id
<if condition="$forumid ='x,x,x,x,x' AND $post['signature'] AND $bbuserinfo[userid] != 0">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>
