ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted October 11, 2017 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hey guys, While signatures are available for many of you now, we'd like to let you know that we anticipate that signatures will be standard text. Lonami kindly pointed out that the new signature block for their account was wonky, and it definitely is. As it turns out, disabling heading text on the signatures would involve disabling heading text on the content, too. And as you can imagine, we quite *like* having headings on the new forums because they enhance things like update notes, so we don't want to give up that option for possible edge cases with too-large signatures. So.... **Please use standard forum text for signatures.** If someone uses larger text (through heading options) the moderators will be asking them to change to standard text. I'd like to reduce the time wasted handling those situations by asking for everyone's cooperation. If signatures are standard text, all is well. Thanks!

Danikat.8537 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think signatures unlock with Veteran rank and the rank is time-gated. Since it's been 30 days since this forum opened and a whole bunch of people reached the rank together. Especially since there doesn't seem to be any consistency in the number of thumbs up/helpful or badges those people have got, or the number of posts they've made.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted October 11, 2017 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 11, 2017 FYI: Signatures are not tied to the Veteran Rank. There are two things going on over the last 48 hours: Changes to signature settings and the attainment of the Veteran rank by certain members. In order to make it consistent and fair across all languages, and to avoid taking away signatures already in place in other languages, those at Member rank in a any of our forums -- English, French, German, or Spanish -- now will be able to create signatures. Veterancy, on the other hand, relates to join date, to the approbation of members (that is, they've given your posts a thumbs up or a helpful reaction), and to how many helpful and constructive posts a member has made.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but is member ranking based on the forum as a whole or on a specific forum (such as General Discussion, Lore, etc.)?

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted October 11, 2017 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 11, 2017 UnbentMars -- Forum as a whole. We don't discriminate about where someone chooses to participate on a particular language-based forum. Members earn rank based on participation in the sub-forums of their choice in a particular language. But if someone is bi-lingual and chooses to post in, for example English and another language, they will rank up separately in the two forums: EN and FR, DE, or ES. I updated my post to clarify. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AegisRunestone.8672 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 OH MY GOSH. I checked in and got the notification: "congratz, you're a veteran!" (paraphrased) and I was... so happy. That, and the embedding images thread. > @"Gaile Gray.6029" said: > Hey guys, > > While signatures are available for many of you now, we'd like to let you know that we anticipate that signatures will be standard text.

What about changing the color of a link in your sig to make it look like link? (Like my sig below) Is that okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were unlocked with Veteran status, I believe. Have you tried sending a mail? Just wondering if Veteran status is the right call. If rank is based on age, then I don't see a problem for those who send PMs. Thanks for sending mail to test!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 No problem. I edited my post to reflect that it is/was 'Member' status, instead of Veteran. It's early for me. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth.4217 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 How did everyone all of a sudden become 3 star members with signatures unlocked? What's the deal with that and how do I unlock it? Obviously it's not by spending thousands of dollars on the game or from introducing people to the game so I can assume it's a Facebook sort of deal where you have to farm likes?

What's the deal with that and how do I unlock it? Obviously it's not by spending thousands of dollars on the game or from introducing people to the game One month since first accessing the forum for Veteran, I believe. Signatures were just turned on? Fuzzy details on what, or if, there are requirements. One official post states 'Veteran' status is required for signatures. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/386/forum-help-how-do-i Another official post states 'Veteran' status has no bearing on signatures. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/191998/#Comment_191998 It seems this post, that said: "@Gaile Gray.6029 said: _FYI: Signatures are not tied to the Veteran Rank.

Perhaps we are back to signatures being tied to Veteran status. It's confusing, to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
