No we don't have signatures anymore and I'm sorry about that. I'm going to see what I can find out about whether they are gone forever.
This isn't the most elegant solution, but as a workaround you could save what you'd like as a signature in a notepad file that you keep handy. Then when you post you can just open it and copy and paste the text to the end of your post.
I know. I said it wasn't elegant.

I hope this isn't the absolute final version of the exchanges. I am definitely not liking it. It's difficult to navigate & looks very awkward to me. I've seen other community boards that looked like this, and I didn't like them at all.

This is terrible!! I don't recognize anyone and their are no signatures. I believe people were asking for more to their siggs like tickers and such and this is what you guys came up with? i am so so so sad. Right before I had my daughter you guys changed the boards and I lost contact with everyone because everyone I "knew" left the baords. And here we are again.

Yeah, I definitely think there are some great additions to the board-like the ability to create your own exchange, and the ability to bookmark exchanges and watch certain discussions. But frankly, the layout sucks. I can't stand trying to figure out the posts. I really think the old format was more user friendly. It would have been great to have it LOOK the way it used to, while still adding the positive additions to it. The new look is cumbersome. Sorry webmd. I love these boards, but I'm finding it hard to navigate. And I know I'm missing out on posts I would normally read.

I agree. I hope that Webmd would bring back the old format. This new one is not userfriendly. It is hard to navigate and I know that I am missing out on posts. I use to enjoy coming here and hanging out but now I will find other things to do and that makes me very sad. I have made some good friends on here and now I feel like I won't get to do that again. I would hope your developers would do some more research on what is wanted on this message board and how a good userfriendly website is laid out and fix this one.
