No, Bitcoin Addresses (256 Bit) and PGP-Keys (usually 2048+ bit now) have different key-lengths.

I believe it will only work for the imported addresses, try to make new address and sign a message with it!
If you make a new address in the new blockchain also do not work for sign message. It actually work for imported address. I do not know why the blockchain make this not available to sign message there with new address.I believe it will only work for the imported addresses, try to make new address and sign a message with it!
Add this as well. Thanks!
Thanks for this guide and information. I've been thinking and looking for this topic for a while now. What are these signed message that are so important? when trading or lending, etc in btc Now i know.. Sorry I am really a newbie in kind of these stuffs, There so many things that I don't know about bitcoin, I will learn more! 
How can I sign a message in the new blockchain?It seems I can't find a sign button there,I've only seen the verify one.It's not in the manage options.
By blockchain I assume you are referring to blockchain.infoTo sign a message, go to the "Settings" tab on left, Click on "Addresses", Click on "More Options" in front of your required address, Choose "Sign Message" .
Does the new version allow signing messages? My last info is only the old wallet version does.

How do i actually proof this bitcointalk account is mine and not hacked? Do i sign a message with my btc address and write 'the account is mine?' Cant the hacker do the same aswell?
Only if they also compromised your bitcoins or have access to your private keys for a different reason.
So do i sign a message with my btc address and write 'that the account is mine?
Well you need to use an address that is associated with the account, e.g. on you staked at the 'stake my address' thread here[1].
Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi there! I just wanted to check back here after posting my signed message and address above a month ago. Did I post in the wrong format or is this thread no longer usable? If that's so, is there a thread I could use to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure why I didnt post it, but the message verifies. I also quoted it now, so it should be just as good as if you had posted it in the stake address thread[1]

Very nice guide we have here!
Congratulations shorena for maintaining this thread updated.
Suggestion: don't forget to add the (very) old time player Blockexplorer.com as one option for verifying BTC signed msgs.
