Default is OFF. You have to click for it every time you wish to use it.

We have considered setting up another option so that was always on, but have wavered, as we don’t think that’s so appropriate; this is because we ask that you use your sig file once per page of any thread you contribute to, that’s usually plenty.

Signature files should also be short and sweet; brevity is the soul of sig files. We set a limit of no more than 4 lines and/or spaces, total.
