Ok I and geekerati have noticed two weird things that have happened in the following thread:

http://www.googlecommunity.com/about1070-705.html

The first being that geekerati's signature is not showing but he as it activated in his profile and it is showing in other forums correctly.

The second is that on that same page everybody else who has made a post as his profile showing to the right of the page like this:

There's something missing "GC$" it should be like this:

GC$: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Im missing it.

------------------------

Also I’m sure my location used to say Sittingbourne, England now it only says England.

------------------------

BTW: You can ignore the second problem, when geekerati pm me on his problem I told him about my problem and he obviously didn't to a little research as its only the person whose logged in that cant see there GC$ so geekerati you could have checked my problem out and told me that you could see my GC$, as I know this is right as I checked it out with Myth, thanks myth.

So now back to your problem any ideas anybody, maybe like myth told me maybe you didn’t tick the:
Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile) box before you post.

So after all this it maybe that GC is not haunted at all sorry for worrying you all, I know how you would all like it to be really haunted.

Well I'm not having any problems. My best guess is it's just a Firefox bug/flaw. Firefox has many issues where images don't show up and such and text not appearing properly, so this might be similar to the cases that occur for others.

Are you guys forgetting that the GC$ of a user does not show up in forums where GC$ cannot be earned for posting?

Darren, I'm guilty of neglecting you because I was leaving for work and must stop at some point and time. Glad that you and Myth were able to resolve your issue. Very Happy

My signature is still not showing up in the Games and Quizes Forum, so it could very well be a Poltergeist/haunting. Please pray for me as I have back-slidden and I'm not sure if my frequency is getting through.

Ok, I'll stop clowning around.. I don't want someone to take that as blasphemy!

Eric, thanks, I'am aware that GC$ only shows up in certain forums , but it too, had me stumped awhile back. Oh , the growing pains of a new forum, but well worth it. Very Happy

There is easy workaround for putting images in your sig and other places...Just use HTML Wink.

I know , but that still doesn't change the fact the we can't right now. Breaking any rules can get you an instant ban. I sure miss posting pics though.Sad Maybe at some point and time we can have the priviledge again. It's sad when a few screw it up for everyone. Sad

I haven't seen Intelliot ever post anything about it being against the rules. He didn't say we can't post images, he only said that he disabled bbCode as a counter-measure against spammers exploiting the lemonparty pictures. I don't see why we should be restricted from using images as long as they are not offensive. I speculated that intelliot probably forgot to disable the HTML tags, so I did a test post in chit chat and quickly deleted it. It worked, and I think a few other people(like Configuration AKA Denjira) noticed as well and are making use of it. Ofcourse it's your choice on whether to "exploit" this "bug". I'm going to put a ferrari in my sig.

Bug exploited. That's it - all images are now gone, including ones added in the past.

Hmmm...elliot, can you make it so that in order to use sigs or avatars, people have to buy it from the shop?...
