There is no writing badge what the heckYeah, why don't they put a writing badge? People write, that's why that book on your nightstand is existing right now...
Can't you just check for transparent pixels around the perimeter of the image?I think chat images would look better with a border like chat drawings: img.chatimage { border: 1px solid #BBB; }But then images with transparent backgrounds (like sprites and whatever) will have an unnecessary border that will detract from the image.

In that case what about avatar bordersI think chat images would look better with a border like chat drawings: img.chatimage { border: 1px solid #BBB; }But then images with transparent backgrounds (like sprites and whatever) will have an unnecessary border that will detract from the image.
For every message typed by a user in chat (as distinct from system messages like X has joined chat) to have an icon associated with the user on its left (so it can essily be picked out from those system messages). It's a good idea to have put in those icons in the first place, it makes communication easier; to consistently make communication easier seems like a good goal.

Also it would require that I keep track of and send more data from the server, as some messages (like module messages) may COME from a user but wouldn't make sense with a user's avatar next to it. Unless you don't mean avatars. Alternatively, I could use javascript to insert avatars next to messages if they appear to need it, but then it becomes hacky and if someone changes their avatar, the "small messages" wouldn't update the avatar like the "big" ones do.
On a narrow screen, the alignment doesn't have much visual impact - but, thanks for bringing up that point, I'll pay more attention.
