There are two main issues with signatures on mobile:
1) most people have Flash in signature and most smartphones don't support it so it's useless
2) on small screens primary content (posts) has a priority over unneeded one (signatures), and everybody grumble how mobile version of forum is unusable because of too much everything on it, so reduction of unneeded content is the solution
Maybe we'll put some option in User control panel so you could turn it back on...

How in nine bloody hells of Baator does one actually use the [bandcamp] tag? Here's a few examples of ways that do not work.

As you can see, it automatically assumes the targeted ID is a track, rather than an album. Album tracks, from what I gather, do not get a track ID assigned to them, and as such it's impossible to link to a single track within an album. At least when I try to get the embed code from bandcamp on any of the specific tracks of mine, it only gives me the embed through reference to the album ID. And indeed, it doesn't seem possible to link to the album itself either, since it doesn't seem that the implemented BBCode solution supports that. Or if it does, I do not know what the syntax is. Compare:
I would like to keep this setting in sake of backward compatibility (if I change it all posts that use old bandcamp tags would be ruined). So to enable you to put albums, I could create a new tag ([bandcamp-album] maybe?) if you agree? Or do you have a better idea?

[bandcamp:album] or [bandcamp-album] should work. I thought about allowing people to use HTML, but then I came up with a handful of reasons why it was an awful idea.
And having it default to track if no string= is present.

I've made following changes to a bandcamp tag:
1) I've switched old embedded code to Flash-free version so people on smartphones and tablets can use the embedded player.
2) I've introduced a new tag [bandcamp=album] with which you can link an album with the similar syntax:
I'll fix it...
