Description
I'm just trying to figure out the difference between this module and the Signature box that is already available in core for users. Users can enter their signature and it will be displayed when ever they leave a comment.
Can you please explain the difference to me? Thanks for your time.

The differences are listed on the project home page: http://drupal.org/project/signature_forum
This support request was raised on version 5. The biggest difference with core and this module is that signatures are dynamically added to posts, instead of placed into the text box when the user started writing a comment/post. A big disadvantage with signatures that are hard-coded into comments, is when the user changes their signature (on the edit user page) , previous comments are not updated.
Drupal 6 fixes the big problems, but doesn't allow conditional signatures, different filters for signatures and all the other stuff listed on the project home page. Hope this answers your question. :)
