Permission to view signatures
What do you think about the idea to add a permission to view members signatures?
I think it's useless to show signatures to guests.

hmm... I'd say more than a permission it could be a setting?
I don't see much the point of allowing to see or not the signature to defined member groups. Am I wrong?

You are right, it's more a setting than a permission. I only want to hide signatures for guests, and not for different membergroups.

and is there member option not to see any signatures on the forum at all ... also could signatures have hyperlinks in the text?

Please note the above bug in my second footnote.

Not a bug: you have an open tag instead of a close one.

I try to explain why I think is useful such an option, if you allow images into signatures you will add an useless load to your forum, and it'a way to also improve your seo.
In XF the option to disable signatures to guests is available under the SEO settings, and it has some sense to me:
Show Signatures to Guests
In order to maximise your 'signal to noise' ratio when displaying threads to guests, you may hide your members' signatures.
