Tech:Raw signature is blocked

Moved from en:Wikitravel:Bug reports by Evan

What happens

In the Preferences page, you can set a nickname and there is a box to check if you want a "raw signature." Every time I check the box, it says my preferences were saved but it's cleared again. Is this feature disabled? If it is, it would be better if the box didn't appear at all, or at least mention on User preferences help that the box doesn't work. It's not a big deal but if I want a custom formatting for my signature, I have to type it myself now. Philbert^2.71828 14:47, 23 June 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, that's a bug; raw signatures are being forced to off for everyone because of caching, but it doesn't really affect caching, so I figure it should be removed. Thanks for the report. --Evan 18:08, 23 June 2006 (EDT)

I've done some more careful filtering of which user options affect the cached output of pages and which don't, and I've tried to make some of these options available again. Raw signatures are one such item; they're now re-enabled. --Evan ^✉ 16:01, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
