I shall have another go . Thanks Greg.

Tell me if it works, because it definitely worked for me.

{$postoptionschecked['signature']} renders the html output as checked="checked" by default (if they have a signature), therefore removing this code should remove the output of checked="checked".

Basically I need the checkbox always to be checked, so that every persons Signature is visible when posting.

Is this possible to always enable signatures when posting?

You have to delete some codes from some templates in order for the user to NOT be able to UNCHECK the signature-box, here are the templates (link) below ( except PM template )
* change http://localhost/mybb1613/admin/ to the PATH to YOUR "forum admin folder" / URL

http://localhost/mybb1613/admin/index.php?module=style-templates&action=edit_template&title=usercp_editsig&sid=1&expand=24|26|2|29|31|-1|15
usercp_editsig << template

find

<label><input type="radio" class="radio" name="updateposts" value="enable" />&nbsp;{$lang->enable_sig_posts}</label><br />  <line 34
<label><input type="radio" class="radio" name="updateposts" value="disable" />&nbsp;{$lang->disable_sig_posts}</label><br /> < line 35
<label><input type="radio" class="radio" name="updateposts" value="0" checked="checked" />&nbsp;{$lang->leave_sig_settings}</label></span> < line 36
</td>

change to

<label><input type="radio" class="radio" name="updateposts" value=""0" checked="checked" />&nbsp;{$lang->enable_sig_posts}</label>
</td>

and delete lines 35 and 36 , now save that template.

Next you're going to hide the option from being unchecked by users

in new reply template

http://localhost/mybb1613/admin/index.php?module=style-templates&action=edit_template&title=newreply&sid=1&expand=24|26|2|29|31|-1|15|5|3|23

find

{$option_signature}  < line 39 - remove this line 
{$disablesmilies}  <  line 40

changed to

{$disablesmilies}

next

in template = newreply_options_signature

<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[signature]" value="1" tabindex="6"{$postoptionschecked['signature']} /> {$lang->options_sig}</label><br />

^^ delete everything., leaving it blank . and save the template

find and delete "{option_signature}", then save the template

next, in template newthread_options_signature

http://localhost/mybb1613/admin/index.php?module=style-templates&action=edit_template&title=newthread_options_signature&sid=1&expand=24|26|2|29|31|-1|15|5|3|23|38|16|37|36|14|20|33|12|22
^^ and delete everything, then save (now blank)

Then run the query in the message below, it will enable all-signatures for those that didn't enable them before you do this modification

And the people who have there signatures disabled, take a look at the "mybb_users" table (database).

You could also run this.

UPDATE mybb_users SET showsigs = '1' WHERE showsigs = '0';

That's all folks.
