 {{Header|Signs|BackgroundColor=3d78b4|FontColor=ffffff}}
 Signs are usually found on sign posts, hanging over doors, and are the main triggers for zoning in EQ2Emulator (ie., click on a door which is actually a "sign" and you zone to a new location).

+|Developer Task
-|Widgets are interactive objects in the world, such as Doors or clickable objects for quests/triggers, etc. The biggest issue with doors is the open/close coordinates are off, or backwards. Due to a math flaw in the parser/population routines, 50% of our doors are wrong and must be fixed.
+|*Verify open and close heading of doors.
 *Elevators/Lifts are not parsed properly, and must be setup.
 *Verify coordinates (x,y,z), location and heading settings of all doors/clickables
