Yesterday before logging into the forum, I needed a link from my signature, but I found out that signatures aren't visible for unregistered members .. Is there a particular reason for that rule? :)

I suggest enabling them for visitors because they might get benefits in case they didn't register.

Jazakum Allah khairan

This is actually a question best answered by an admins. I may be wrong but I believe it has to do with the pre-set commands of the software :

That controls the appearence and available functions of the forums. Various versions of vBulletin do different things.

Jazakum Allah khairan brother Woodrow, but all forums (including vb ones) can enable signatures. In the ACP (Admin Control Panel) of IBP forums for example, this option of disabling signature is made to save the server resources .. I wonder if it's the same reason it's used here :)

I do not have access to the ACP so I do not know what functions are or are not available. As I said in my post this probably can only be answered by an Admin. I am certain there is a reason. but, I do not know what it is. Best I can do is guess.
 
well the only reason i signed onto the forum was so i could see some links that i was interested in...and it said it requested membership to see links...from then i kind of stayed here....

so i think the admins have done it on purpose, quite an effective way to get more members....it worked with me anyway...
 
hmm good question not sure why it was disabled originally

ill look into it inshallah

remind me if i forget!
