Signature problems

I have two member signature issues

1. Is theer any way to mass reset user signatures? Can’t do it manually as we have more than 20k members and can’t find people who have used signatures to create back links.

2. Is there anyway to make any url added to a signature ‘nofollow’ by default?

Thanks!

you can make signatures (and post content) no follow via option on forum – options – content settings…

if you want to reset, take a look at the database… the sfmembers table… each user has a signature column…  you could mass empty column and everyone’s signatures will be gone…

Thanks for the very quick reply. Very helpful.

One of the forums I used to post long back had a featuer where only members with a certain number of posts were allowed to add posts with hyperlinks or add links to their signatures or user profile.

Is there any such feature in Simple press?

yes… check out the forum ranks…   using the ranks, you can auto promote users from one usergroup to another and gain different permissions… 

you may not get exactly what you want, but you can vary permissions including using signatures, have images in signatures, put links in posts, etc…  check the permissions to see what you can vary for different users based on their rank..
