    changing your sig should automatically change all previous posts of your sig... refresh the threads.

    er, really? that's strange, on every other vbulletin I've seen it retroactively changes the links. what option is set on DP to not allow that?

    Sorry, I mis-read the post.

    Yes, it's automatic (for all of your posts after you were granted sig priv's).

    I ask this because I had changed links before and it has not changed links automatically.
    I believe there is some amount of posts you need to have, to have that available.
    I would swear I have read this somewhere, but am not sure whats the amount.

    I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

    just make you clear your cache and refresh the thread.

    Disgust is right. When you change your sig, it changes for all of your posts. Crazy_Rob is probably just drunk again, pay no attention to him :D...

    Is that true if you had your SIG turned off for whatever reason?

    I believe the change in signature only shows on posts for which you previously had a signature.

    Could a moderator fix that or would someone be screwed?

    Users who read the FAQ have the option of having a signature on all but the first ten posts.

    :)

    Let's say, hypothetically of course, that some sort of compensation was involved, would a moderator then, hypothetically, fix the problem? :D

    Mods do not have that power nor would I want it.

    Correct. Only Shawn (and the mysterious WKW) can and judging by the extravagance of most of his blog subjects he'd be hard to incentivize. Deep pockets or extraordinary innovation might do the trick.
