I can indicate that I want my signature posted with each individual post, but is there a way to make this the default option?

I don’t think you can do that here. Check out At This Message Board for more help, or check the FAQs.

No, you have to check the box to show your signature each time. They also don’t want you using your sig more than once per thread, though if you must, once per page per thread is OK too.

This is a question About This Message Board, but since it’s been answered, I’ll close it rather than move it.
