Signature disappears with log-out.

[maginary-girl]

Hello,

I'm using Outlook on a work computer. I've created a signature with my name
position, phone extension, etc. and set it as my default. Every time I log of
of the computer, log back on and re-open Outlook my signature is gone.

I've now saved it as a Word file and have been copy-and-pasting it into th
"Create New Signature" form and setting it as my default every time I log in.

Any help would be very much appreciated. This is gettting very frustrating...

Thanks,
P

This is an old thread you have posted into, so I doubt the OP will be
watching. The most likely cause is that your personal filing area is reset
each time you log-in. You would need to take this up with your company's IT
support.

Signatures are stored at - %appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures

Well, under 60 days isn't t-h-a-t old but, as you mention, is likely
more than long enough that maginary-girl won't be monitoring it anymore.
However, umar probably does NOT have the same problem. Perhaps a
similar symptom but likely a different cause since maginary-girl never
mentions her workplace (so she's probably asking for a home setup)
whereas umar's problem is at work (so policies pushed onto his host
could affect him). Umar never mentioned that he seeked help from his
own workplace's helpdesk or, if so, that they didn't know the cause.

There is no need for ditto or me-too posts. Umar chose to add nothing
to detail *his* setup and problem and, in that case, should just monitor
if anyone replies to maginary-girl's post; otherwise, he should start
his own NEW thread about HIS problem with HIS setup.

Also note that in YOUR (graham) reply, you misplaced the signature line.
You put it at the end of your reply but BEFORE the quoted content. That
meant *everything* after the sigdash line becomes YOUR signature. Many
newsreaders will strip out fluff from posts, like signatures. Either
don't bother to use signatures, edit your reply BEFORE posting to
properly place them at the END of your reply (and after the quoted
content), apply the registry edit that modifies Outlook Express so it
puts signatures at the end of the entire post (and not after your added
content) available since WinXP SP-2, or start looking at better
newsreaders that can properly do signatures. Although MVP's have
expertise in different areas, all of them should know how to properly
add signatures to their posts (and not be lazy to accept OE's invalid
placement).

Umar needs to start his own new thread to discuss his particular
problem. You need to fix where you insert your signature.

For legibility and netiquette:
- Don't use blank lines in your signature.
- Don't use cutsy but worthless fluff separator lines.
- And, above all, keep your signature to under 4 lines maximum.

As proven here, in the vast majority of cases, signatures are off-topic
and fluff. If you attempt to draw more attention to your signature than
to your reply, and with your signature being off-topic and is definitely
one to spamvertize your site, your post itself becomes spam-like. If
you're going to disguise your spam as a help post, at least minimize
your spammy signature.

I have been using this signature block in the many thousands of responses
that I have posted over the past years - and I am not changing it now simply
because you don't like the format, attributable to top posting, at a time
when the newsgroups are (sadly) all but gone.

There are more than enough net nannies out there without you adding to their
number.
