Does not seem to work anymore.

Is your signature:

still accurate?

Because I have no idea what may have affected 2.0.10.

But if you are on 3.x and depending on settings:

The stricken-out text was 3.0, but turned out bad, so it was adapted and merged for 3.2

Well spotted, thx. Updated.

Thanks for the link; this is indeed the problem I'm experiencing.
I recently switched to 3.0.

From that page:

This happens only if you run your program using IDE...

Interesting choice of words 
And people still wonder why Lazarus/FPC isn't embraced more...

The signature is a bad place for that info. Now all your old posts read like you got any issues described in them with 3.0.

Besides that, you were lucky I spotted it. Because often I decide halfway into reading a post, that I will reply. In that case I don't read to the end. I will read to the end in the reply form (while arranging the quotes). => Only in reply mode, I don't see the signature. Even if I scroll down, the forum does not list it in the messages that are shown below a reply box.
I have countless times ask people what version they use, because I did not see there signature while I was replying.

Better go to 3.2, because behaviour was updated...

Done (well, 3_4).
