Of course it does. Maybe someone can look into why it wasn't showing in my previous couple of posts. (FYi DAB section)

Maybe I just found the culprit right here. Quick Reply box was used for the second and this post. I do have my forum preferences set to always include my signature. Thanks for listening to my crazy rant.

The current forum software only allows one signature per person per page which brings it in line with forum signature policies:
Signatures/Avatars: Please be responsible when using sigs and avatars. Please keep all content clean and polite. Also, use in moderation: Consider the modem user that has to download your gif on every page that has one of your posts. It is not necessary to include your signature in every post made in the same thread, especially if you are using a large image. If you post multiple times on the same page, in the same thread, only include your signature in the first post. Signatures in successive posts may be removed from those posts without warning. Excessively large images or text length in signatures may be removed from your forum profile without warning. The maximum allowable image height is 82px which is enough to fit an EOC/[H] style FAH signature. This restriction is subject to change however, at the discretion of the site administration.

Seems to be done automatically to prevent people from accidently doing it.
As you can see a signature is in this post but if I add another reply it will be gone, no matter what I do

The change was only rolled out with a forum software update recently, but the policy has been around as long as I can remember.
