Changing your Signature

[JasonBeam]

I have an odd question. If I change my Signature .. that is remove the current one and type in a new one, does that change instantly permeate to all of my old posts, or just new posts made after the change?

Just tried it and it changed on older posts.

Thank you for your experiment. I was actually going to try that if I didn't get any responses to my post. I guess I was just curious, and a bit worried that doing so might fracture the space-time continuum and pull me into an alternate universe . . . .

You mean your username/handle  ?.

Yes, when I changed to Jester all my past posts and comments changed.

The signature is the line of text at the bottom of your post that is attached to all your posts ..

It is in the OAFQ story in fact.

Oh, what's called a user flair on some sites?. That's the first time I've seen one used here I think!

Ha, ha .. How could you tell? I've always been a big sci-fi fan, I may have to start a new topic on this very subject, it might prove interesting.
