Name = "Forum Post Signature Remover"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)"
Limit = 4096
Match = "(<br /><br />--------------------<br />|<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />|) <div class=$AV((post|)signature)>$SET(1=<div style="visibility: hidden; display: none;">)"
        "|$NEST((<span class="postbody"> |)<br />_________________<br />,*,</span> <span class="gensmall">*</span>)"
        "|$NEST(<br><br><table align=left class=sing><tr><td colspan=2>----------<br>,*,</td> </tr> </table>)"
        "|$NEST(<!-- (sig|start: postbit_signature) -->,*,<!-- (/ sig|end: postbit_signature) -->)"
Replace = "\1"

In the forum http://www.pixel2life.com/forums/index.p...opic=42693 I found it was nos working because they style the row of "-"
Changing the first line by the next, will work

Code:

(<br /><br />(<span *>|)--------------------(</span>|)<br />|<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />|)

Also i use the following for URL match:

Code:

$TYPE(htm)(^$KEYCHK(f))(*(((foro|forum|forums)(.|/))|\/(viewtopic|showthread).php\?)*)

Hi,

I'm still a newbie with filters, I found quite some forums where it doesn't work, but what I really would like to know, since I see the string style="visibility: hidden; display: none; ...

Does that mean that the actually signature contents (sometimes including tons of images) DO get requested but not shown ?

In other words, this filter will not lower my traffic, it only hides the content ?
Am I right please ?

When you use hide in images, it downloads you are right.

But don't focus on this, now it's better than before, the intention of the filter is to remove the garbage.
Many times with the garbage you cant see more than 3 three line of text in the screen.

I was doing a filter for removing signatures until i saw kye-u made this wonderful filter, and i assure you is really complex to do because there are a lot of possibilities to insert signatures. Also this filter cant still remove signatures from some forums.

Recently i made a filter for toggling banners and i realized the problem of hiding, it doesnt occurs with flash objects, but the images are downloaded

Suggestions are welcome, but more welcome is help. Think in the hard work our mates are doing for free in their free time, and no one give them thanks for their works wich makes your browsing better...
