I have now finished my hack which allows users to have multiple signatures to choose from when writing posts. It seems to work on my test site but I haven't given it any major tests.
Had I known when I started out how much changes I had to do to make this work I don't think I would have done it. There are changes to 18 files and 5 files are added. This also makes it highly possible that I have missed something in the install instructions, but I have been as careful as possible and I hope everything is there. I have also tried to make the instructions as easy to follow as possible and have given both code and line number for each step to change. But still, only try this hack on test boards at this point, becuase there are probably still bugs in it, and since there are so many changes to be made it can be easy to miss something.
I have also fixed some bugs that I've found, sometimes the signature isn't shown when viewing posts (like when replying and such).
