To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Right now there is 133 guests online in the forum viewing various posts and every single one of them can not view signatures due to the fact they do not have 10 posts.

I can understand members not being able to have a signature until they have 10 posts, but stopping guests from viewing is a bit silly in my opinion, your members that are active should be able to have their ref links in their sigs so if a guest clicks it and joins up they get a referral.

Just my opinion anyway.

Haha, that's actually new to me! Been years since I had less than 10 posts...
I do not see any harm in showing signatures, so putting this up is a good idea. ;)
Still, I do not agree on one thing: referral links are for referring people to this website, letting guests sign up over a link in the forum would not be fair. ;) So still, guests should not be able to see signatures!

I would like to see GPTreasure's opinion on this one, I can not decide about it and I guess it has its reasons.

If someone is active in a forum and is generating discussion and also in turn this is producing google hits, then shouldn't the poster get a small reward here and there by an extra referral or two, that come to the site via the forum?

We use this protection to prevent spam and un-wanted posters in the forum. It's not hard to make 10 posts in the forum. Feel free to introduce yourself in our Introduction Forum and join discussions in our General Discussions forum etc.

We reward you when you get referrals.
You can use your activity here and use your referral link in your signature and if you manage to get members signing up under you then you get % of what they make.

Normally we dont put our referral link in our signature because why do members going to register under you when they are already did! XD

Adam, I do apologise!
I thought you were referring to USING links but you actually cannot VIEW them, so we are working on it and will fix it shortly.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
