show sig only once per page?

is there a way to mod/patch the viewtopic file so it only shows each person's sig on one post, instead of lagging up the page and increasing load time (most of our sigs are flash)

or if there isnt a pre-made mod could i sit down and do it? i have already added a bunch of things to this file.

This should do it if you need any help just let me know and I can do it for you Razz

Code:




#


#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------


#





viewtopic.php





#


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------


#


   $user_sig = ( $postrow[$i]['enable_sig']





#


#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------


#


&& $board_config['allow_sig']





#


#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------


#


 && !$signature[$poster_id]





#


#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------


#





$user_sig = '<br />_________________<br />' . str_replace("\n", "\n<br />\n", $user_sig);





#


#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------


#





      $signature[$poster_id] = 1;





#


#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------

cool man it works great!

i have a n00b question, never learned this in my php tutorials:

i know the ! is used in != for not equal, what does it do here? : && !$signature[$poster_id]

! is the "not" operator.
