Wincer just added a cool new feature!
"Signature Files are an absolutely vital way of promoting your web site".
What is a signature file or sig file:
A short block of text at the end of a message identifying the sender and providing additional information about them.
Sig files allow you to promote your site indirectly, by simply going about your business. Signatures are there to work along side all of your genuine postings...whatever form these postings take: that would be your comments here at Apsense.
The fact is that signature files are a non-aggressive form of site promotion. It plays the subtle role in your interaction with others on the internet.
How do you set up your sig file:
Click on your my account tab at the top
Click on update Profile (second row second tab)
And Scroll down to the Signature (max 100 Chars)
Now you get to add your signature file that will appear under every post you make here at Apsense.
example:
your name
[u.rl=http://your business.com] your business name [/url]
Fast | Easy | Free
Warning:
If You have a sig. file that is too long or too BIG the subtlety goes out the window and now you are just plain spamming again!!
Very Cool
Thanks Wincer.

It's great to finally have this signature feature. Hopefully, it will cut down on the spam adverts that have plagued this wonderful site!
Here's hoping my signature file looks alright .....

Hey Pattie,
Your signature line is not a live link. See Valeries article above for instructions on getting the correct code.
Cheers!

Thank you, BJ. Not only have you been helpful, but I made a few goofs along the way when I first came here, and you were so nice about the way you let me know. I like the nice way you handle things and really appreciate it.

Hi Pattie,
No need for thanks its all part of the service, although a word of appreciation now and again is welcome.
It makes the effort worth while.

Hi Pattie,
Yes providing you set up and use the Signature in your profile.
In this way a signature in this group (the main APSense Group) will now be allowed.
We will be able to see if its ok because of the dashed line that denotes the Signature from your profile.
Any comment that contains a url below the Dashed line will be allowed any comment with a url above the dashed line or in a comment with no dashed line will not be allowed.

Margie, your sig file is not clickable. Check out the instructions Valerie provided to be sure you are using the correct code!

Hi Val
Yes this is a great feature and will make life easier.
We still have to remember that in this group (the main APSense group) that although we are now allowed the signature file, the no advertising and posting of urls in the topic or comment body rules still apply.
The management will be making a clarification post as soon as possible on this.
