PR as in page rank. Does using a sig with a link in help increase page rank?

At the previous export I gained PR3 for one of the sites I represent, though I had 600 sig links.

so that suggests that sig links do help then

Yes, it certainly does

ok, i think ill have a go at that. does it matter which forums i post to or anything? how many posts are needed for a decent effect?

Yep. as everyone already says, if you post on a thread and that thread is indexed, it'll help you with your PR.

Yes , posting in forum matters , it`s good for the traffic but also for the page rank. You actually gain PR from your profile page ( that is where your site is listed and also your signatures ). In time after few updates your profile page PR may go up to even PR 3 .

Posting in forums does matter, but if You look closely in Your webmaster central at Google You are going to notice that not every one of them has been accounted for. I have just over a thousand posts with my main site in plus about 500 - 600 back links from other sites, but in webmaster central I barely get 300 back links total with less than a hundred from forum posts.
