Does anyone else find it wierd that the signature set in your profile is dynamic? I just updated mine and then happened to read a post of mine from a year ago. I almost flipped to see my new signature on the old post....
Yeah, so?

It's simple enough. Having an extra few hundred to several thousands bytes per post, with tens of thousands of posts, adds up to a lot of extra information to keep stored in a database.
The way it's designed, all it does is trigger your username to your current signature in the database. This way your signature only takes a chunk of space once, and not for every time you make a post.

Nope, that's pretty standard faire for discussion boards that I've found.
I can think of one board I've seen that didn't do it that way. Not having it that way bothered me. Yes, you lost your old sig forever, but if you loved it that much then why did you go changing it?
