No support, if a signature is bad, how is an ST member gonna edit it if it just links to change their own signature instead? They would only be able to edit their own.

I'm pretty sure it would still be possible to put a username after “scratch.mit.edu/discuss/settings/”, but there would be another URL which simply redirects to /discuss/settings/{your username}

1. we cant access it anyways so why bother?
2. it could be helpful or new scratchers to get a signature instead of doing this:
___________________________
this is my signature
1. Read OP
2. Looks like you are supporting this suggestion

The suggestion has nothing to do with accessing other people's signatures anyway.

2. it will remove the fact that it could be helpful to new scratchers to show them their signature link instead of them just putting this in:
___________________________
this is my signature

Can you reword this? I don't understand.

thedogcoder404 probably means in-post signatures (that new forumers often tend to do), which aren't allowed

new scratchers who don't know how, you'd be able to just put a link
me who likes to change it a lot

ohh ok i get it
personally i don't think this is really needed, you can just say where the ‘change your signature’ button is
but i get what you mean, so support
it would make it easier for those not as familiar to the forums (like me lol)

Support because this would make it a lot easier to help new forumers with their questions about the forums. Account settings has this so why not discussion settings?

Or at the very least, annoying (they are still allowed but if they copy paste blocks in every single of their posts, that's where it crosses the line)

Support because when someone is new to the forums, they could get a link on how to change their signature.

that would take a very long time to do due to the current structure of the forums.
The structure of the forums shouldn't be a big issue here

All that would need to be done is:

- get the name of the logged in user
- redirect to scratch.mit.edu/discuss/settings/{name of logged in user}
that is still hard to do

if there's one thing i learned from writing this post it's that i'm so bad at explaining things

edit: probably a dupe actually
