AI Thread Summary
To edit or update a signature on the forum, users must navigate to 'My PF' in the top left menu, but this feature is only available to Gold members. There is some frustration regarding the requirement for a paid membership to access this option, with discussions about the cost being relatively low compared to other expenses. Users noted that even as a Gold member, signatures are limited to four lines of text, which some find restrictive. The conversation also touched on the broader implications of signature limits, with opinions on how they can affect forum aesthetics. Overall, the need for a Gold membership to access signature editing has sparked mixed feelings among users.

Maybe I had a few too many beers, but I can't figure out how to edit/update my signature. Where do I go?

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

On the top left of the menu bar, there is 'My PF'. Click on that, and it takes you to the page that let's you edit your avatar, signature, etc..
 


Gold members only.
 


Ah... I never noticed that he wasn't gold. Good catch.
 


"Gold" Hmmm... Dang. This kinda sucks...

Oh well...
 


There's one obvious solution.
 


$$$ :biggrin:

"Gold Member?" :frown: I feel so unprivileged now...

You can always go https://www.physicsforums.com/payments.php and take care of that. ;-)

If you don't have the money we all understand. I'm having financial difficulties myself at the moment. But when you can afford it at least you know its going to a good purpose (chocolate for the sisterhood and dance lessons for Greg).

Edit: Oh and Cheers! *raises beer*

For less than the cost of a case of beer, you can become a gold member. Maybe go without for a bit?

Well, it is a shame we have to pay for cool features on a PHYSICS forum; where the poor members will have to choose between the Gold membership or covering ANOTHER room with whiteboard.

:frown:

EDIT: I looked at the price, a small price to pay for an awesome orange user name.

I don't know if I should divulge this before you pay for gold membership, but you wouldn't be allowed to put a youtube video in your signature anyway. They're limited to just 4 lines of text. An extra line or two might be let slide, but videos and such wouldn't.

Four lines? That's barely enough for a long quote! Most forums would give at least thrice that for free!

(Don't ban me, PF gods, whoever you are.)

I think even 4 lines is 3 too many. It's ridiculous to have a signature larger than most posts.

My sig is the guidelines, so they don't count. :biggrin:

Most forums that allow signatures for free and don't have a limit on them look a terrible mess because people really go over the top with their signatures. Like Evo has mentioned, it looks ridiculous if you post a simple reply and the signature is 10 times longer than it.

Sarah Palin is the most prominent and articulate voice for American conservatism.
- Rush Limbaugh; de facto leader of the Republican Party

Well, if I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I'd go with Rush Limbaugh [over Colin Powell] - Dick Cheney

It is time for the Republican party to be replaced with a respectable conservative party.
Capture the "big tent" of Independents and leave the extremists behind.
