    This was brought to my attention by another trialist which I looked into. Basically, the editing panel for signatures is greyed out and none of the functions can be used:

    I don't know how long it's been broken but I doubt it's supposed to be like this.

    I would say it's because you've got it in Plain text mode (BBCode is it called?), but I can't see the button in that picture to turn it back to HTML like you can in normal posts.

    It's not broken. It's like that because the Enable HTML box is checked. This forces it into raw HTML mode. Uncheck it, and it'll re-enable it for BBCode & HTML. For proof, check the images below.

    /monthly_02_2014/post-1-0-61239000-1392418224_thumb.png

    This shows the sig editing page with the box for 'Enable HTML' checked. As you can see, all the WYSIWYG options of CKEdit are greyed out and un-usable, and the BBCode toggle button has vanished.

    /monthly_02_2014/post-1-0-07041300-1392418343_thumb.png

    Shows the page with the 'Enable HTML' box unchecked. All bar one of the WYSIWYG options of CKEdit are greyed out and un-usable. The BBCode toggle button has re-appeared, and is clickable.

    /monthly_02_2014/post-1-0-31718100-1392418362_thumb.png

    Shows the page with the 'Enable HTML' box unchecked, and in BBCode mode. All the WYSIWYG options of CKEdit are usable.

    Ah, I see now. That makes sense. I never thought to click that button after enabling/disabling HTML mode.

    I feel kind of stupid now.

    Also, it says I don't have permission to view your images.

    Do you have permission to view them now?

    No. I still get the following message:

    "Sorry, you don't have permission for that!!"

    Bit of an odd one, this.

    For what it's worth, *I* can view them.

    Log out, force a browser re-cache and log back in again. Because if Nineko can view them, then so can you.

    I can view them now, but I didn't change anything. I don't know how that works. Before, they were textual links with data underneath them such as number of downloads and data size. Now, the images show up directly in the thread's post and when click, are enlarged. How odd. I guess this is resolved.
