You have to check “show signatures” before you hit Submit Reply. If you Preview, it turns it back off again, so remember to check the check box right before you hit submit. Jim ---

[QUOTE=pkbites] Try again [/QUOTE] I just hit the Reply button to your post and clicked on the **Show your signature** option. On Preview I got nothing. I verified my options. I think you found a problem. And now it suddenly works. Good job fixing that **pkbites** 😃 I am turning my Sig back off. Jim ---
