We all know forum signatures are a relic of the past, but there are still a lot of communities that really love them. Since Discourse is :rainbow: I crafted a plugin that lets us take back our much loved (gif animated) signatures!

Configure

The Signatures plugin can be enabled either by the toggle or from its settings, both accessible from your /admin/plugins page:

After that, each user can enable the signature setting on their /preferences/profile page and select a signature:

And thatโ€™s it!

Advanced Configuration Mode

You can also enable advanced mode in the plugin settings and use a full-blown post editor to create your signature! With text, multiple images, etc.

Settings

Name Description
signatures enabled Enable user-made signatures below posts
signatures advanced mode Let users use a full-blown post editor to create signatures. (:warning: RESETS all existing signatures)
signatures visible by default Make signatures visible by default. This makes signatures visible for anonymous visitors as well

Thanks to @charleswalter who pushed for this and made it possible, @eviltrout who made it compatible, and the Discourse team for such an amazing project.

Hi, it would be useful to me to be able to restrict that signature functionality to a certain group. Is it feasible? Thanks.

Agreed. It needs this.

Read up on the link Lilly shared. With CSS you can hide signatures in the user menu I believe if not part of x group or groups.
