House sign change function not working

[Xan Swiftwind]

As you can see from this house sign, the Change House Sign option is greyed out and cannot be selected. I was using the char who placed and still owns the home to attempt to change the sign. I have some other plots I tried to change the sign on and none of those worked either. I only have one house that I could change the sign on: the first house I placed which is outside the walls of Luna.

I checked with a few other people to see if I could figure out a common factor in what made this happen and they said they had a lot of houses they couldn't change the sign on either. It doesn't seem to be related to house age, facet, location, or whether it was placed or traded to the owner. If there's anything I can do to help figure it out just ask. Thanks for your help.

A house must be public to change the sign.

That's weird, thanks for the info. I think private homes should be allowed to change their signs too though.

You can always set the door/tele-tile security to owners only, switch to public to change it, then switch back if you are worried about someone getting in while you change the sign. But I get it, does not make any sense to be able to customize everything else but the sign if the house is private. Gotta love UO!

I don't see any issues in making house sign types changeable regardless of public vs private.

For the sake of this bug reporting section though
