The signature control allows you to switch from using vBulletin limited signature permissions, to a really advanced signature control. It does this by not ever effecting vBulletin control, allowing you to use the standard vBulletin control for some groups and use this advanced control for others!

The reason for developing this modification was to bring the complete signature control into one single Administrator Panel, so as not to have to set (bbcode rules) on one vBulletin options page, then have to set (image rules) and other signature option on many different pages! It make administering your forum much easier!

The signature control gives you many different options. Each is designed to allow you complete unlimited control of just how you want each groups to display their signatures!
