Bit of an update on signs plugins not working :
Today I installed repairshop to see if that worked and this time it only changed the first line into !? which was the only line on the sign that had colour formatting, maybe this is why none of the plugins using signs work? (all the ones I tested use colourcodes)
*edit*
I also can't get coreprotect to work, edited the bukkitforge.cfg and tried both latest and 1.74 coreprotect to no effect :(
