I created a signature for my mail program. How come it doesn't show up when
I post to a news group?

Is the 'add signature to all outgoing messages' option ticked? Click
Tools>Options>Signature Look at the top to see if the box next to this
option is ticked. If it isn't, then tick it. See if that solves the problem.
Personally I rarely use this option, I prefer to 'insert' my created
signature manually. That way people who need to know all of my contact
details get one signature and others, such as newsgroups, get a variation.

I can't find the signature button in the customize tool bar page. Also I had
add signature to all outgoing messages checked and it still didn't show up
in message window.

No need to select and insert signatures manually.
You can assign different signatures to different accounts:
Tools, Options, Signatures, select a signature, Advanced...

When you go to Tools, Options, Signatures, select your
"The Surfer" signature, click on Advanced, what do you see?
There should be a checkmark in the box for Microsoft Communities.
Also, on the Signatures settings screen, make sure the first box
is checked, but the second box needs to be unchecked.

I agree, Gary, it is just that I like to see what is going in my signature
line prior to the mail/post being sent.

I don't understand. The signature is inserted for me
immediately upon starting a new message or when clicking Reply.
So, I definitely get to see it long before I click Send.

Didn't you see my response?
In the Signatures settings screen, where it says "Don't add
signatures to Replies and Forwards", make sure that option
is unchecked.
