    You probably just have to wait for the cron job to run and you'll be upgraded.

    Oh, and sigs are at 10 posts
    Its 25 to create a thread in B/S/T

    I've been having serious problems not finding forums that allow signatures and the ones that do are obviously not working. The last one I used, I put anchor text in a link by using both html and bbcode separately. To my amazement, it only showed the coding whole. Not good. I just always assumed that you could add a link in the signature and it would be there. I see it here and a couple of other places, but it appears most forums are going away from signatures and/or having no-follow links. This makes it hard to create links. It's not like websites will just link to you. Oh well, I'll just keep working at it.

    Its amazing that forum owners respond to spam by limiting the opportunities, don't you think?

    It takes a day or maybe two and then you can change your signature normally.

    Yes, that is true, but think about the new business site that is trying to build quality links. Most businesses that have high pageranks probably won't just link to a competing website that won't help their rankings. So this leaves articles, social media, and forums to name a few of the major types of gaining links. It would be so much easier if forums would all just allow bbcode links as long as they were just in the signature. This would seem to get rid of spam and would still give us all the links that we want. Making it harder for newcomers to build links along with google changing their algorithms is just a way to keep the stronger sites strong and make it more difficult for newer sites to make it.

    I'd agree with you if this site's purpose was to help you get links, but since it's not...

    Do you really want to rely on getting links from a 3rd party site that you have no control over and could make all your links you ever posted nofollow at any point in time?

    If you are here just to try and get links, it's probably not the right place for you. If you start dropping links when you can, you probably will find yourself banned for spamming. Spamming links is spam.

    I'm pretty sure DP Sigs are nofollow anyway...

    Signatures and live links within posts are not available to users until they have been a member at least 7 days, have positive (green) reputation and have at least 10 posts.

    Member: 7+ Days
    Posts: 51(inc this one)
    Reputation: Green as shown, also positive iTrader rep

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    As stated ^^

    Try to use the 'Insert Link' button to add links in your signature.

    Well, I believe I meet all the requirements: 16 posts plus this one. I joined a year ago. And I still do not have access to the sig setup window. It just gives me the list of reasons why I might not have access. Then it says something about not being able to post in the Web Reviews section if you do not meet the requirements. I clicked the link to that forum and was able to make a post fine. So what's going on? Why can I still not set up a sig file? As far as I know, I have no infractions.
