Thread:Feedback/Design issues

This is bound to have been discussed a zillion times before, but... I don't like certain aspects of the design. I don't like the signatures being on a new line; it makes short comments take up more screen space than necessary. And I don't like the grey vertical lines linking comments, which kills the whitespace that made it easier skim threads. Perhaps the lines to/from a comment could be shown only when mousing over that comment.
