I still do not get what I am doing wrong? This must be some kind of message that my sig is no good. ---

[QUOTE=What are the rules on profile signatures?] **How many times should I include my signature in a thread?** Once per thread should be sufficient for people to admire the pearl of wisdom included in your signature. If you post multiple times in a thread it is recommended that you only include the signature in one of your posts. [/QUOTE] By now you’ve realized that the default option for sigs is “turned off”, but you can turn them on when you make an post to a thread. I like yours. ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] May I admit that I am scared to click on Queen of Lubricant’s flood link? [/QUOTE] Not to be scared, grasshopper. It’s merely a link to the National Flood Insurance Program. A personal crusade of mine to get people informed re: flooding risks. 😉
