I didnt read the whole thread, but did anyone mention the hook locations? they werent moved with the sig...
you might want to try this chunk instead.

		$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]
		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
			<div valign="bottom">
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
