Thanks for the reply! I will call the courthouse tomorrow and see what I need to do. Luckily, I still have a little time before the time limit runs out to answer it.

Yupper, it was me that forgot to sign it! Mine was sent back stamped on the top received and the date. They just sent me a cover sheet to sign and resubmit. I used a money order for the fee and they sent that back to be resubmitted.
I never had to send it back because my attorney had intervened and got the case dismissed.
In your case, they might just send it back with the check/money order and unfortunately, I would send it back with certified, return receipt.
Is there a possibility you can run down to the courthouse to sign it? Then you wouldn't have to run to the post office and all that stuff.

Thanks for your post! I am going to call the courthouse tomorrow and see if I can just run up there and sign it. I wish the court clerk would have told me, but oh well, I guess they are not supposed to do things like that!

I'm just visiting this thread. I don't have any experience with a summons, but I am trying to learn everything I can.

yes you need to sign it
Any court filing needs to have a certification signature on it. If you are within the time line to re-serve, I would. The Plaintiff can take his sweet time and conveniently reject your summons after the filing deadline, then move for default!
I would re-file the answer with the court with a cover letter seeking to withdraw previously filed answer, then re-serve plaintiff with a cover copy of the same letter to protect from default.
