Yes very much .Google does count your forum signature to be a link if it contains the URL of your website.Another factor is that the page in the forum where your post is should be cached.Earlier only the links that were in a page having a PR where updated as backlinks.That happened in October when Google did a update for PR and backlinks.The last time Google did a update for both all links (URLS of websites from forum signatures) were counted.As a matter of fact my backlinks increased by 200.
