The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.

Can't edit signature; "Permission Problem You don't have permission to do that."

I can change other aspects of my profile through the preferences, but when I try to access the Signature Settings link, I get a Permission Problem page.

ETA: The functionality for changing other text-based aspects of our profiles seems to be OOC too.

    Where can you change other parts of your profile? I’m looking to change my “location” but I don’t see a text field for it anywhere.

    You're right! I can access the other sub-pages of the Preferences page of my profile (Change My Picture, Quote Settings, etc), but I can't change any text-based stuff either!

    As of this post, I cannot change my signature either. Same issue with the Permissions Problem page.

    pretty sure profile editing has been turned off due to the bug that allows for username change popping back up

    is it just me or are a lot of images hosted through the forums dead all of a sudden, seeing a lot of broken images in people's sigs

    If a common host is having issues then that may be causing the dead links

    Seeing the same behavior - The image in my signature is broken on the forum, but if I go to the source or open it in a new tab, the image is fine and hosting is still online.

    Attempting to access my profile to edit my signature also returns a Permission error.

    yeah my hosting is fine, something's wrong with sig embedding. I'll make a new thread since this is a separate issue.

    Agreed. Strangely, my two older ones on Imgur aren't working here, but my newer one is.

    They all work on other forums, however.

    Can't seem to make my signature work. Odd.

    if you use a secure URL for your images it seems to work

    I dunno why vanilla cares about that really but it's evidently what they're doing
