"I actually like the white on black.  I would recommend simply ditching the sentences after the user page and usertalk page links; these are are not only redundundant but also confusing, IMO:   () is fine and comes out as: 
  () 
 That is actually more noticable, I would say, since there is less clutter!  BTW, I also have watchlisted your page (and am therefore Talk Page Stalking you at the moment!) but you can also place {{tb|Mod mmg}} on my talkpage (rather than the entire thread!) if you feel I need prompting (and if you wish me to reply here rather than there, which further makes the link in your present sig redundant).  I hope you don't feel we are ganging up on you, BTW!  We are simply trying to help you as best we can though perhaps being a little clumsy about it  ♫
