so i am trying to remember what it was like back in the day...were sigs always pulled from the db for each post? I assume they were
but it strikes me as sad that older posts don't carry older sigs. each new sig wipes out the old one and old posts get "updated"
i suspect this sadness of mine is out of scope for sickos.net as it'd be a structural change to the underlying software but i wonder what others thing about it
sig strata

HOW CAN WE DO IT

hmm it wouldn't be TOO hard...
- add avatar url and signature fields to the post table
- modify the template to display those instead of what's on the user table
- update the post adding code to set the values on the post table based on what's on the user table at that moment
- make sure changing your avatar doesn't remove your old uploaded avatar
- add avatar url and signature fields to the post table
- modify the template to display those instead of what's on the user table
- update the post adding code to set the values on the post table based on what's on the user table at that moment
- make sure changing your avatar doesn't remove your old uploaded avatar
the last one is probably the most unknown for me, but we could do just the signatures for now to make it easy
