Is there a way to make “Show your signature” have a default of YES, so that I don’t have to remember to check the little box every time I post? ---

I think TPTB only like you showing your signature once per topic, though. ---

Idle Thoughts is correct. We would prefer you not to use your signature more than once per page of any thread. ---

Ah, ok. Thanx. I wasn’t aware of that, but I’ll definitely try and keep it in mind as I post from now on.
