I don't think that will work.
You can't get the signature from the cookie. You will need to retrieve it from the database. When you're previewing the signature in your profile for example, it stores what you entered in the signature text box, into the cookie, then the preview page takes it from the cookie and shows it. After that it deletes the signature from the cookie.
If you want to get the signature in the preview window the only way I know of is putting a call to the database. Which is why we haven't implemented in the forum base code as thier is no database interaction in the preview page. And the less connections or hits to the database is better.
One way you might can do it is storing the signature in the cookie after the user previews it, but that's hoping they don't delete the cookie and also hoping they will preview thier signature.

Davio,
That's why you're on the development team and I'm not. 
Thanks for all of the help!! Cheers.

I think you might have a point there. Always wondered what I'm doing on the Development team. 
You're Welcome. Glad to help.

OK, one last question...
Would it be possible to make a call to the DB when someone logs on and have the sig stored in the cookie automatically?
I promise this is the last question!!

Yeah, you could. If you really wanted to.
But cookies is a temporary storage area. Not permanent.

I see what you're saying. I guess that since I'm really, really new to all of this ASP stuff, I'm just curious about how it all works. I'll leave it at that and start hitting the books...
Thanks again and take care.

If the readme file doesn't say "Last Updated: June 04, 2001" then you're using the older version.
Davio, i rechedet it and found a mistake in your readme file.
pop_profile.asp
' ########### Signature Preview Mod #############
%>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--function OpenPreview()
{
......
should be
<!--
function OpenPreview()
it's corect in the file you attached, but if one copy from readme, the preview won't show.
