Yay for stock installations? Perhaps the 'hide post count group' thing should actually be on by default, heh.

But yeah, quick little thing this afternoon, and it's about 8 lines of code, excluding the plugin-info.xml file :D

I had that installed as a mod in my forum but i removed it later.
When the posts are next to each other or close[1] then its fine to hide the second signature.
But when a member makes the first post and then you get 5-8 replies from other members before the first member reposts then the signature should be visible.
Signature helps new members start rembering other members.
 1. by close i mean are both visible without scrolling

So do avatars.

Yeah, I suppose it's harmless.

But true enough, if I know someone by their sign mostly (because they have a specific image and their avatar is too generic or non-existent), I'll tend to recognize them in the conversation by signature -- plus it doesn't require moving your eyes along the horizontal axis.
So I guess I'll never install this on a forum of mine. No harm done either way :)

This is the beauty of plugins: no-one's forcing you to make a decision either way but if you want the option, you can have it.
