Last Issue before I can upgrade to 6. The signature module is no longer, so I am using signature for forums . That seems to be working well. I had deleted the old signature module, and installed the newer signature for forums, set a new signature under the edittab of account. All good so far. All user signatures were of course gone , but they can reset . My new signature appeared as expected under my posts .
But , Then I made a new post and in the textarea at the top was my old signature reappeared. If I submit that post the old signature is there in the post , but the new signature is placed and appears correctly as well. I can of course easily delete the old sig from the textarea before posting and everything is good , but already users of course are getting double sigs old and new . so for users sake this annoyance needs to be removed . I guess it has hungon in the database somewhere or maybe some template , but I cant figure out yet how to get rid off it. When deleting the old signature module , of course there was no facility to uninstal it , so maybe its kept data hanging around somewhere , or maybe the comment module is retaining the data , or maybe its a old signature template somewhere . Can anyone suggest a solution , or some idea where I can look to rid myself of the old signature ghost. Please :)

Jeez. Deep Breathe.
well, that was a learning experience tracking this down and ended with a beautiful thread to read by webchick on signature handling in drupal. Honestly , I looked everywhere for the signature data in the comment module. So in case this post is brought up by google the data is in the user table ??? go figure. The signature for forum solution to the horid 'in content ' approach in core , is , well, bloody good . I removed the signatures from the database and all is good. Signature for forums has the signature table all nice and neat to itself . Lovely.
Now to learn how to write queeries so I can run a queery to remove the sigs from users table without having to do it manually like I had to .
