This is extremely important, for these two items are the first things anyone who attempts to assist you with your issues (which you are bound to have along the way) should want to know from the start!
So do yourselves this favour, edit your forum user profile (found in "My Stuff" menu) so that it clearly states at least these two facts: System version and BBox version.
I apologise in advance if this is a dual post in this forum section...although if there ever was a concept to say twice, this one is it.

Hi Icelander, it's alright? And a lot more than that!  You've really taken this advice to town there, well done.

"Not been here long" is the very definition of newcomer - which btw we never refer to as "noob" or anything self-demeaning of that sort. Everyone of us was 'newcomer' once  This is all good here, people, keep it up! You all clearly get the idea now, no need for you all to feel like you have to "report for inspection", as it were.

Judging by the increasing number of posts I'm seeing from users (new AND old!) that still don't apply this simple strategy, here's a much needed *bump* of a reminder: *BUMP!*

Oh, and here's something I myself needed reminding of: Don't forget to update that info as required!

About that, it's interesting that signature updates affect all earlier posts as well. This could get confusing when reading someone's post of long ago, especially if it's about differences in versions. I would think it might work better if signature updates carried forward only from the time of the update, assuming the forum software could accomplish that.
Just a thought to add to your good recommendation.

Good points there, and thanks again for serving as my "reminder" a few weeks back  I had actually made the suggestion to PG that such a thing like basic system & BBox version info ought perhaps to be a mandatory part of signing up to the forum in the first place, but then I got pointed out by someone that any and all changes the user might have to these along the way are going to make such a thing quite tricky to implement. So, maybe I should revise both that suggestion and my advice here, and narrow it down to the very essential "Are you Mac or PC", since the BBox continues to be (too) different on each still. Truth be told, that very fact was what brought on my advice here in the beginning anyway.

Oh yes, that point was clear.
I do wonder why it's hard to implement. After a day, a user can't change a post. But the signature change propagates backward, and I think it should not. Or are you saying it's hard for the users to keep up with making the changes?

All good points above. The signature (or other user's environmental status) should be taken from the versions in use at the time of the post so that others can identify that user's equipment at the time their post was made.
Updating the information (version, equipment etc) should be reflected in posts from that point forward.
Great ideas.

When another user has a different opinion, requests a clarification or offers a suggestion, it isn’t ‘shooting down’ anything. The only audience that can do that is PG Music staff.

Be that as it may, that's still how the discussion came to a screeching halt, regardless of what you call it

I don't think the signature is actually part of your post, but just a display concatenation of your post with the signature on file. That's probably why your old posts change. And you can turn the signature off, if you wish.

Which is why I suggested in that other thread that they ought to create a specific entity just for this purpose.

Now maybe you'll have a (second) look at the suggestion I made in that 'other thread' to make this very concept easier for all of us. Thanks for giving this topic your attention

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
