I’ve noticed that my sig line doesn’t show up in my posts. My first sig did, when I registered, but none since. Is there some weird reason I can’t see it or is it not there at all? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.  
Thanks in advance,  
kelliebob

I am an official goober. I found the answer- surprise- there it was, already posted. Now that I’ve outed myself as a dilweed, I’ll slink off back under my rock.

In the reply page below where you type there are several boxes that can be checked .

One is  
Show Signature: include your profile signature. Only registered users may have signatures.

This used to be checked by default but that was changed recently so now you have to check it everytime you want your sig. to show up.

goober? dilweed? kelliebob, we have a strict rule against self-flaming here at the SDMB. If you want to use those terms, you must reserve them for other posters that don’t meet your standards of brilliance. 😉
