Worried about lost signature? Go find it before it is too late.

By WWHSD, in X-Wing

I've seen a few people complaining about losing their signatures and that there was information that they were tracking only in their signatures.

If you are looking for what was in your signature before the forum cut over you can still get your signature from cached pages. If you update your signature frequently you may not be able to find exactly what it was before the cutover but it's better than nothing.

Do a Google search that will find a thread that you posted in. You'll see a little pull-down arrow for each search result. Hit it and choose "Cached".

That should take you to the version of the page that Google cached.

You can also use http://www.cachedpages.com/ which has a couple of caches other than Google to display. When using http://www.cachedpages.com/ you need to cut and paste in the URL that you want to see and can't just search.

I did this and my sig isn't showing up.. dating back as far as August.

Ironically, I had just created a signature today :P nothing lost though.

Whats the consensus, y'all?
All these threads regarding the dial on the romulan ship and something about a possible upcoming third faction called "rebels" or some such.
But are we pleased with the fancy new backwards scyks? I think I am ok with it. Pretty sure.

Posting here so I have a quicker way to find it when they're back.

Much obliged if that Somebody fella would like my post, so I can even have this saved in my notifications...

I'm a little disappointed that Somebody didn't like my post, but I do appreciate the assistance, WWHSD & Rinzler!

(I suspect they've solved the anon liking, then. Nice.)

Thank you. The cache thing was helpful.

I can't even find where to put my signature on this new setup. It does not seem to be on my profile page.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? :unsure:

There is no signature. Not any more.

I found the culprit of all the missing signatures......clever ploy to go "missing" to cover ones self!
