bbc works on sigs, just memorise the tags, its not that difficult.

I am not sure what you are asking, although, BBC codes are listed in the help.

no, im wanting to know how i would have above the signature blank box the bbc buttons just like it is in the reply and new topic pages so members can click the button and have the tags inserted automatically because most dont know the tags off hand

Oh... ok I see what you are saying now. Sorry, I don't know how to do that. I would think just add the buttons in the profile template. I know you need more than that though!

Although, just an idea to save your self the trouble and extra work, maybe just a link to the help section for those that forget. Would you members change Sig that offten to justify your extra work of adding those buttons? IMO I would think a [BBC Code List] text link to _blank would be easier on you, and still practical for what you would want.  Just my opinion / idea!

You could just have your members create the post in a test forum, then copy it and paste it to their sig.
