How do I get a signature?

[S'mon]

...and subscribers get to have links in their signatures, too.

However, a signature doesn't change if your subscription lapses, so that's one reason you might see non-subscribers with longer sigs and/or sigs with links. Another (increasingly less common) is that such sigs were grandfathered in when the current limitations were instituted oh-so-many-years ago.

I used to have a big signature, but then I took an arrow in the knee...

Yeah, mooks like us get 1 line, unless you still have a big one from way back when, which I did until a few months back when I instituted my current beg-for-xp drive.

I would to have the working definition of "Line" as it applies to signatures.

I copied EzekielRaiden's signature and the system let me use it. So I checked the line I wanted to use, and it was one word more; I replaced the word "is" with a colon, making the two lines the same number of words. Still no dice.

So I replaced the double quotation marks ("-") around the word plot with single marks ('-') and the system accepted it. How strange.

Never mind the apparent "paying through Patreon somehow doesn't make you a subscriber" bug.

Oh well. At least I have something now.

I have no idea what database in on the back-end here, but the quotes may well be screwing it up.

And the Patreon thing is new enough that I don't know if Morrus plans to fold Patreon/ENWorld subscriptions together. That's definitely a topic for Meta though.

To be a Copper subscriber, click on settings tab (upper left corner). Then scroll down the left side of the page. Under the heading "My Settings" see third section "My Account" and click the line "Paid Subscriptions." Copper costs $3/month, Silver $5.99, and Gold $8.99

edit: Oh, and I believe the signature limit is based on both number of lines and number of characters/spaces per line.

Supporting En5ider or TRAILseeker via Patreon doesn't make you an EN World subscriber. Those are basically magazine subscriptions. Separate entities.

I'll move this to Meta.

I don't own Patreon. I don't have access to its code. There's no possible way it can interact with the code here.

Thank you!

I actually started a more or less identical thread in the Meta section once it was pointed out to me, but that one hasn't had as much in the way of responses.

Well, I understand better the difference between the Precious Metal Subscriber and En5ider subscriptions now; I had thought they were more or less the same thing. That was my mistake. I didn't realize that the Copper etc. subscriptions didn't include the magazines.

Decisions, decisions.

I can't see that thread in the Meta forum. Are you sure you posted it here?

Anyway, it's just me who handles that sort of stuff, so a little patience is appreciated.
