You can’t. You have to click the button every time. ---

This forum is open to all readers and most questions are answered by anyone who drops in (TubaDiva is the moderator of the forum, making sure things don’t get out of hand). Anyone can answer questions posed here (some more accurately than others). If you do have a question or concern that you feel may be too sensitive to bring up in public (why was so-n-so banned, so-n-so may be a troll or sockpuppet), are just too embarrassed to ask in public, or want an answer only from the mods/administrator, then it’s best to e-mail a mod/administrator directly. Otherwise, this forum is open to anyone answering. Yours was not a stupid question; actually, it’s been asked a few times before. And yeah, it took me quite awhile to get the hang of sigs. ---

I personally think that showing your signature once per thread is sufficient. Even the best joke pales after the 50th retelling. ---

Although, from what I’ve seen, she’s probably used to it by now. 😃 ---

And now i know how to correctly spell racinchikki’s username (thanks Kat). I don’t know why I was thinking “rain”… well whatever…
