How do I make the "show signature" box be ticked by default?

[Simple_Linctus]

On most forums I post at the signature box is ticked by default when you go to make a post while here the opposite is true. I’m fairly sure there should be an option in my CP somewhere, but I can’t find it.

Per FAQ:

How many times should I include my signature in a thread?
Once per thread should be sufficient for people to admire the pearl of wisdom included in your signature. If you post multiple times in a thread it is recommended that you only include the signature in one of your posts.

Leaving it turned on isn’t an option.

You (as a poster) don’t have control over the default state of that checkbox, it’s determined by the vBulletin style template.

As I suspected, if you post from Tapatalk you can have it append your sig to each post automatically. I’m not really what you would call a prolific poster so it probably would have never been noticed and I only use my sig to post the same info that appears in other’s posts by default (join date, location & post count).

That’s covered in the FAQ’s, too:

What if I copy and paste the same text at the end of each of my posts? That’s not a profile signature.
As mentioned above, text included at the end of all your posts is indistinguishable from a profile signature and should follow the rules for profile signatures and links. However, see below about simple signoffs.
