Is there a way to get your signature to automatically appear in every post without having to put a check in the “Show Signature” box each time you post? I’m constantly forgetting to check that box.

No, at least not in this version of vBulletin.

IMHO, that’s a good thing, because any witticism loses its charm when it’s repeated too many times. For example using a signature once in a thread is sufficient to make the point / relay the humour.

What Arnold said. Plus, the people who have Monster Sigs would take up most of the thread, just with their sigs. I consider my current sig (at four lines of text and one blank line) to be pushing the edge of acceptable sig length.
