Um, my \*.sig doesn’t appear to be showing when I post… ☹

Is there summat I need to click to make it work?

Thanks,

Aye, summat. Below the posting window is a series of boxes. Tick “show signature”. It is _off_ by default. If you preview (which is a good idea) the box will be cleared, so tick it just before you finally submit. And welcome to the SDMB.
