Really would love to give 5 stars but the impossibility to place my signature above the quote (below my reply) makes this otherwise great extension useless for me.

Works as described, except there seems no way of specifying that the signature should come at the top, when you want to post a reply above the quoted text. This is a serious drawback for some users.

Nice, but didn't like some of the restrictions, like not placing the signature below the reply but above the quoted text, or placing the signature anywhere you want it to go. Since the FAQ says this is was deliberately done, I followed their recommendation and used a different add on instead of this. I used "Signature/Auto Paste/Prefill Forums 4.2" which works much better.

Pure productivity booster, Signature Switch FTW!
I have two business accounts, a personal mail account and have to write mails in English and German. Without Signature Switch, it would not be possible to fit all multilingual needs, mailing-lists and stuff. Thanks for this great addon!

I have my signature turned off for forwards and replies so it isn't in there a million times if the email goes back and forth. I do want to add it on a single reply or forward. This is exactly what this does and does it well.
Thanks

Wonderful add on! I was about to ask for the possibility to have the signature above the quote but after reading why it hasn't been implemented (http://mozext.achimonline.de/signatureswitch_faq.php#beforequotedtext) I fully agree with the developer. Great job!

A great idea. Thanks Achim - But your response in the FAQs to people (like me) who would really like the ability to put a signature ABOVE the quote is a little disconcerting.
If this request is not technically possible this would be fine - but then please say so.
I think we need to keep Thunderbird flexible - otherwise people will migrate back to Outlook.
5 stars for the add-on minus 4 stars for inflexibility meaning that, like others, I can't use this add-on. Sorry.
@mgrey:
What's your problem? You act like I owe you (or the "community") something?!
I develop Mozilla-extensions in my (rare) spare-time... and give them away for free!
I explained in detail why I don't implement that feature (and you obviously have read that). Maybe you agree with it, and maybe you don't. Fine with me.
This is open-source development. You're free to modify things to your liking. But please don't imply that it's my job or duty to fulfill your wishes!
Five stars to you for making a review; minus four stars for just ranting around and being ungrateful.

It's useless for me as it's impossible to set up the position of signature if answering (I use signature above quote). Don't understand why it can't be done... Pity.

first of all, let me tell you that I love this extension. I use it constantly to automatically switch signature flawlessly when I choose to switch a sending account. used to work perfect in the past, and it still does when composing HTML messages (well, it enters an extra carriage return when inserting the new signature, although I can live with that), but it has recently stopped working for plain-text messages: it just adds the account's signature at the bottom of the message, and if I choose to deactivate signature it only removes the last signature inserted. any ideas why this is happening? is it a TB3.1 issue, or could it be a SS1.6.6 problem?

This add-on would be perfect if it had the option to put the signature ABOVE the quote.
It's also a little buggy when trying to add images (ie. logos) into the signature.
Having said that, this is a very useful add-on despite the issues stated above.

On 8 July 2010, the developer posted ver. 1.6.6 on his web site and I would expect that it will be available here soon. Said to fix the 3.1 compatibility issues. See Developer Comments above for URL.
Good news, as this extension provides essential functionality for those who use TB for business.

using the (usb)portable version of thunderbird, is it possible to specify paths to sig files relative to the executable?
if so how?

I can confirm that: uninstalling TB 3.1, installing TB 3.05, setting up Signature Switch, installing TB 3.1 again works for me.

Getting "chrome registration failed" errors attempting to install in TB 3.1. But on another 3.1 machine that had Sig Switch installed prior to 3.1 upgrade, it continues to work.

Confirming: It doesn't work with TB 3.1! Same symptoms here like Escuincle has it.

Big fan of this app - if only it worked with Thunderbird 3.1! As noted, you can't find the icon in the 'customise tool bar' window.

... confirming larry54's problem.
I can't use the add-on with TB 3.1 either. Klicking the options button in the add-on window freezes it up. The signature switch icon can't be added to the compose window toolbar because it doesn't show up in the "customize toolbar" window.
I'd be more than happy for any kind of fix/update/workaround.

This wonderful add-on doesn't work with TB 3.1 :(. The options button in add-ons window just freezes up when you click on it and the toolbar button isn't present in the compose window.
Possible to update it?

It does what it is suppose to do ! Great Add-on
Thanks you Achim
