Maybe a dedicated line or two above/below the signature area under the post would provide more space to list the devices without creating as much blank space, if that's actually an issue for the site administrators? Though large avatar images seem to create just as much blank space in posts as full Device listings. I actually don't mind the blank spaces; sometimes they just provide a visual rest for a moment, and I tend to use them as mnemonic device in long threads to remember the area where I last left off reading.

Since I'm not constantly needing to look at things like the device lists, karma, avatars, ... I don't really see the need to constantly display them. They are usually noise to me. Imo, add an option on what to display, or remove them.
I really don't want to have to scroll through pages and pages of mgmueller's device list every time he posts in a thread.
