Request them to give you your money back!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
My latest tip/trick

I think this may be the result of having a rather dull & drab avatar on your home page. 
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

I read that a little too fast, and thought you said "Vibrator"...

I've gathered together a crack fact finding team that organised several committees. The consultants engaged on behalf of the committees to investigate this issue liased with several industry experts and agreed, after several further meetings, many of which extended into the dinner hour and so, understandably, incurred certain related expenses, that yes, your icon in the forums is not the associate icon.
This is by design. We never had the chance to expand the associate program in the way we planned so until that point it will be a profile-only badge.

Some forums have dedicated pages setup for them. Most use a standard, generic page.

Ah, so you probably use the number like a query string parameter (I'm guessing by using a server-side rewrite). Just an idea... you could shorten the URL (and remove the number) by storing the forum name in the database and associating it with the ID you seem to currently be using. That would also prevent things like this:
http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1649/ASP-NET.aspx (actually points to the C# forum)

There are (or were) two SoapBoxes, version 1.0 is a private group for selected members (i.e. not me).

In the Q/A section, when you post code and put it in a PRE block, it ignores blank lines, make the code more difficult to read.

Ignore me - I have 100 lines to write: "I must read the whole question and notice the bit saying 'in the Q/A section' before answering..."
No it doesn't!
<pre lang=cs>
public void myMethod()
{
int line1 = 1;
}
<pre lang=vb>
Public Sub myMethod()
Dim line1 As Integer = 1
End Sub
<pre> on it's own.
public void myMethod()
{
int line1 = 1;
}
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Actually, I figured out how to have blank lines - put an escaped space character on the line you want to be blank. But at the same time, I shouldn't have to do that.

Reply link in a comment can be seen only if I mouse over it.
I have seen many users posting a new comment in reply to someone's comment. And that happens mostly in case of new users.
In most cases, you would not get notified about the new comment so you miss the user's reply if you are not keeping an eye on the thread.
Will it not be good if we can have the reply link visible by default?

I suggested something like that a month or so ago, and Chris said he didn't want the q/a page to become littered with icons.

That's a very welcome change. I thought you haven't even noticed it.
Thanks for getting it done.

It's still on, right? The original announcement said it would run every month from Nov 2010 to Mar 2011. But now it's not announced anywhere on the site! Hence the question. Thanks.
