vBulletin not "trimming" nntp sigs

[DenverD]

vBulletin is not automatically trimming out nntp sigs when the web
users elects to reply by quoting a previous post..

for example see:
OpenSUSE counter for Facebook
where you can see my entire sig..

its no problem to me, but it seems inconsistent to not trim after the
'standardized' sig follows format "--[space]"

Thanks for the report, we'll put it on the list of things to investigate
when the NNTP gateway functionality is being reviewed. This will
probably not be high on the list of priorities, but I'll make sure it's
on that list.

no, maybe i was not clear--it is not a gateway function (i don't
think), instead it is the web side that is not trimming sigs
consistently..

that is: a web user clicks "reply with quote" (or whatever it says,
i'm not now looking) to an nntp posting and VB picks up and quotes
*everything* in the post, including the sig....

however, if that same web user clicks to quote/reply to a web posted
note, then VB excludes the sig..

Thanks for the clarification, it's probably something like vBulletin
using "--" instead of "-- " as a delimiter or something along those lines.
