When a member tries to edit their signature even just entering plain text the following message comes up:

'You are not allowed to put links in signatures'

Upon examining the error log I see the following messages.

What do I need to do to put this right?

PS when logged in as admin I am able to modify my signature and update without problems.

you can ignore the harmless notices... we do clean them up as we see them...

ability to put links in signatures is a permission...

Ah perhaps I didn't explain, the error comes up with simple text as well such as the word 'text', no links.

I cannot see a permission that says anything about links apart from allow links in posts and the one in the user group permissions about adding an image to a  signature but if there is one it would have been useful if you had said where it was.

However that seems a moot point when a user cannot even add some simple plain text. Any ideas?

Steve: I don't see this permission exposed either on our site? Can you check that statement?

Conrad: No - doesn't make a difference anyway as you say. But I can't replicate nor do we have any other reports. I will open a ticket anyway of course.

well, you are correct... in that its not a permission.. sorry...

its actually a setting... if you check forum - options - content...  there is an option to turn off links in post content...  if that is set, you cannot put a link in a signature either since its part of the content (so to speak)...  admins are of course, not subject to that limitation...

that's not something new for 5.0...

Post 3, 2nd paragraph

........apart from allow links in posts

This is of course checked, yet members and moderators cannot edit or even create signatures with just simple text. This is broken. Andy maybe you go take a look at my forum and confirm?

I probably ought to put a link in my signature wink

we have a ticket open to see if having this set prevents the signature from being saved at all...  a quick glance shows it would only stop saving if a link was inserted into the signature... but we will run more detailed tests...
