Marsha, are you using a desktop/laptop computer to view the site or a mobile device (phone or tablet)? If you're using a mobile device, you can't see the signatures. It's an arbitrary decision by the forum software publishers/developers to allow mobile users to see more actual content. It's something that probably works for many sites but doesn't mesh well with SA using signatures to convey important rather than "nice to see" information. This is not medical advice.

Administrator Altostrata Posted November 28, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hello, everyone. I have added a new field to everyone's public profile, for a link to your Introductions topic. It is optional. If you wish to add it, all you need to do is: 1) Go to your topic and copy the URL in the browser bar. 2) Click on the Profile link under your name in the upper right corner of every page. 3) On your Profile page, click on the Edit Profile link in the top right of your Profile area. 4) Scroll down, under Location, you'll see a blank field for My Introductions topic. 5) Paste the URL into the field. Anyone who is a member may click on your avatar image and see your Profile. If you do not wish to publish the link to your Introductions topic, you don't have to. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted November 28, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted November 28, 2017 I've just followed these instructions and the link will show up on a member's profile page on the left, which means that you won't have to click on See Their Activity and then Topics and then find their Intro topic which will be mixed in with any other topics that the member has created. Thanks Alto. * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
