I just noticed a glitch in the forum (maybe due to the updating). When I just created a new forum topic, the post did not get my usual signature. Replies to existing topics seem to get the signature just fine.

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
Learn something new every day...
Is there a specific reason for this behavior?

My guess would be that that's just the way Drupal works, not something specifically done by PortableApps.com.
So the original post doesn't appear too cluttered?
I don't know. Personally, I think it'd look tacky in forums like this
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
What makes it not tacky in second and subsequent posts?
Honestly not trying to be argumentative... just trying to get some background on an otherwise strange quirk.

heh. Well, you make a good point. Other then for some reason it doesn't

As I understand it, Drupal isn't a pure forum platform as are Invision and, in the open source world, phpBB. It's a CMS. While it looks and acts like a forum, think of it more as a news site. Each created topic is not a forum post, it's more of an article. Like the articles John writes for releases. Those forums are not displayed to us in the same way, e.g. General Discussion and Off-Topic are. He can see them and post in them, and we see the updates on the main page, on Twitter, and on Facebook. So we write articles and every reply (sorry, "comment") is a post. Posts get signatures; articles do not.
