Suggestion: Make the signatures smaller

What about making the signatures appear with a smaller font size? It could improve the overall usability of the whole site, since now it's sometimes hard to distinct what's a reply / what's not. Or alternatively the signature slot could be coloured a bit differently from the main message - for instance just with a tad lighter shade of grey.

Is that a terrible idea?

Actually a lighter shade of purple would be a better idea than grey, so it wouldn't get mixed with the included quotes and would look much nicer with the bottom bars.

Thirdly, and I guess more importantly, a script that would place the signature at the bottom of the message automatically in relation to the avatar pic (the last character of the included signature would be placed on the lowest line of the whole combined message/signature are) would be very warmly welcomed. Now, when posting short messages it almost comes off as if the signature was the actual message and the message a title for it.

I think that's a good idea to make them smaller or lighten the color.

No, I think it´s a good idea. I often find it hard to distinguish the two, especially when the reply is just one word or an emoticon and the sig line is a whole bloody novel.
