Thank you

Do you need to have a certain number of posts in order to have a signature? I can't seem to find the edit signature feature.

It's not obvious, and a bit confusing, so I will expand on Ayu's advice a couple of posts ago.

Go to the drop-down at top right and select User control panel (not Profile)
In User control panel, select the Profile tab (this is not the same as the Profile in that first drop-down - see what I mean about confusing?)
The second tab down the left side of that pane is Edit signature. That's what you want.
You might like to add an avatar pic while you're there.

As far as I know there's no reason that shouldn't work for a new member, so let us know if any of that doesn't work for you.

Good luck!

Thanks to Ayu and Kim, and jake5521!!

I had assumed that this feature had been disabled or wasn't available to everyone.

I did not have much luck, unfortunately. I will post a picture to show you why. It's not of utmost importance. Just not sure why it's not showing up. Maybe because I am on phone?

Yes, all Newly Registered User (NRU) accounts have restrictions including not being able to have a signature. The number of posts required to become a Registered User (RU), with full user access, can vary.

Apologies for not replying sooner.

I think I did know that, years, ago, but I had forgotten. Sorry, Indrajala.

LOL. Thanks for the screenshot. It reads:

(1) Which screenshot? There are several in the topic.
(2) It's a fairly old topic. Link rot happens.
(3) You're not (yet) a full member so there are some things you can't do - see https://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?t=30556 - although seeing screenshots was not an exclusion I was aware of. You might find https://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?t=30557 useful and informative, too.

In every post on the forum.

I'm puzzled. Is there a screenshot in this post?

I’m under no delusion as to why my profile is restricted here; yet I’m not exactly sure how I’m not allowed to see file-uploads either

There's a lot of ignorance going around then, because I don't know what it is that (either of) you can't see.

And I can't tell you why you can't until you tell me what it is.
If you can post URL's of posts containing items that announce you can't see them, that would help.

I cant post you a screenshot of the page and how I see it.

Lets try a link:

This is how every post, not just the ones here, with a attached image looks like.

Do you understand now?

:thanks:

Yes, now I know what you mean, and I can see if I can work out why it's happening. Not right now, though - dinner calls. :stirthepot:
Is it the same for you, Sadhaka?
If so, what about all the music videos you post - can you see them after they are approved?

I can see youtube videos and twitter posts; just not attached files.

(And am not really proud that my most active thread here is the music time thread; although it is what it is I guess)

Working on it. Might have to bump the question upstairs.

Not much luck yet, I'm afraid.
An Admin has looked at the system setting for NRU and MU and says nothing is immediately jumping out as to why images can't be seen, and that your problem doesn't affect every NRU/MU member.
Best suggestions so far are that perhaps you need to clear the cache on your browser/s or check the settings on any mobile devices you're using.
If you regularly use two or more devices, does the problem occur on both/all of them?

I have the same problem as a newly registered user - there is no way to create a .sig file apparently though there is an option to include a .sig file with posts. What is the waiting period to be allowed to have a .sig file? Does the number of approved posts matter?

What's the solution?
