Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us.

I am a new user, clicked on quick links did not see user control panel to add a signature to my page.

Look at top right corner of any page for Settings and click on that.

Next page - look to far left column an scroll down to My Settings --> click Edit Signature

Volia - type in your preference. There may still be a 10 post minimum for the signature to appear.

I guess since I am a "newbie" here and this is only my 3rd post, I will need to make 7 more posts before I can make my own signature :cry:

Thanks for the useful information. I'll be setting up my signature soon.

If you just follow Grapeshot, Skidmark and Citizen around the forum, you can get 7 posts of "+1" or "that's a good point" in before morning. :p
Though, I'd hope you would make your posts most substantial and contributory than that.
+1

(see - that easy...) :p

*jackrocklc is right of course, but sometimes one has to liven things up with a smile. :cool:
Sometimes the brief "+1" is a quick, simple way to add weight to a previous poster's reply w/o wasting white space, especially when the plus oner's position is well known - it's internet shorthand.

Other times therein sits a coded, secret message to other members of the Olde Pharts Club :)

I see very little evidence (virtually nil) of anyone simply trying to drive up post count......well maybe 1 or 2 occasionally.

There is great benefit in seeing more detail, especially from a newbie - helps to inform the readership of who and what you are, additionally reduces misunderstandings.
