Thread:Project:Support desk/Problem with signature cleaning/reply (5)

>Yet this works OK on Wikipedia. Can anyone help? Well $wgCleanSignatures is set to true on Wikipedia, so there is your first difference.

So you can set the sig to something fancy in your preferences, you can use this fancy sig on pages with ~ and then randomly it gets set back to the default?

After it gets back to the default sig, does only ~ show the default, or does it also show the default in the signature field of Special:preferences?

In some circumstances, illegal input in the signature field will set it back to default, but you usually have to put some rather weird stuff in it for that to happen (unclosed XML tags, or a sig longer than manual:$wgMaxSigChars for example) and it'd happen instantly, not after a time delay.
