It's useful for noting when somebody is a moderator or administrator, etc, but can also be used for more humorous purposes =)</p> <p>I've limited some of the options that we provide, so our forum doesn't have signatures or things like that, because I think they really muddy up a forum. Let what you say be what makes you original, more than anything else.</p> <p>In the somewhat near future there will be some upgrades to the forum profile pages, so you'll be able to add more information about yourself, etc. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/forum-question/page/2#post-33196 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 06:41:06 +0000 jack7h3r1pp3r 33196@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@tech granny yes that is johnny cash and the status is where it says member under your name </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/forum-question/page/2#post-33170 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 02:27:10 +0000 techgranny 33170@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>What on earth did Loretta say and what is a status?
