    Okay I have a weird problem that I find very odd. When I look at what my signature line says in the Control Panel. It shows what I typed which is:

    "If you want to know my reputation, read my past posts and judge for yourself."

    However, even today it appeared incorrectly after I posted a reply to a thread - (e.g., http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...13-changing-engine-coolant-2.html#post1052177) it displays as:

    "If you want to know my reputation, read my past signatures and judge for yourself."

    What is that about?

    Why even posting the previous item, it shows up correctly when I "preview" it, but wrong when it ultimately posts?

    LOL, I have no idea, in the admin panel it has the word "posts", but sure enough, 'signatures' is what's showing up. No idea why.

    Obviously some piece of the site's software is converting the text. Why? Who knows.

    That's weird. Must be some sort of caching. Give it 24 hours and see if it changes.

    Well, that would be a no. I'd actually set that to be my signature back when you put the reputation button up for a bit. So the caching thing seemed a bit unlikely. BTW: Thanks for backing off that (at least for now)... Perhaps you can tell I was not a fan.

    Its odd that it shows up properly when I do a "Preview Post," but then changes when I do "Submit Reply." I will leave it there for now and hope that you will submit a bug report to vBulletin about it. Thanks for being so responsive about the issue.

    Well, at least the next time I post something that sounds really stupid, I can claim that the website changed my words. So what's the rest of you guys' excuse?
