… and hit “Reply”, and then click on Email Notify and Use Signature, and then compose my Reply in the nice gray box, when I Preview the post and go to actually POST it, the box for " Show Your Signature" is always UnClicked magically? It ain’t keeping me up nights, but if I click an Email Notification choice, that is kept as I compose my Reply. For some odd reason ( and this has always been the case ), if I click Show Your Signature before I Preview, that choice is UnClicked and I have to reclick it so that it “sticks”. Any particular reason why some things we click stick, and some are undone upon Preview ? Just wondering. And another thing- why is it that every time I post, I don’t get an email from that Forum’s Moderator that says, " God DAMN, Cartooniverse, that’s one heck of a brilliantly composed, excellently thought out, insightful, humorous, wickedly appropriate post" ??? 😃 Cartooniverse ---

Since obviously, all the other posters think this, why would you need further adulation?(did I spell that right?) 😃 ---

I think adulation is when you have sex with another person’s spouse…? Or am I confusing that with adulthood? ---

Because “no signature” is the default, that’s why. ---
