New User Profile Display

[hamish]

I've temporarily changed the user profile information to display on the left of the post, what do you think? Keep it or lose it?

[Fonsz]

It's ok but have you found our flags yet?

It makes very short messages take up a lot of screen space.

ETA: It seems that signatures have to start below the poster's information, so that makes things even longer.

I agree with Kent, but I think this is a good thing. It breaks up the various posts with a space so it makes reading/scrolling easier.

[Fukuryu]

Not bad. Agree that it takes more screen space, but also makes every post more distinctive. In a couple of hours I'll be at work, where I have a screen with less resolution, and will see how it looks there.

So far looks like a keeper, in my opinion.

I like it, a lot of other forums I post on have the same lay-out.
Is it possible to increase the size of the avatars?

Is it possible to increase the size of the avatars?Not as long as I have any say about it...

I agree with Kent, but I think this is a good thing. It breaks up the various posts with a space so it makes reading/scrolling easier.
I think it wastes a huge amount of screen space. For example, on my laptop, Scott's one-line post takes up nearly the entire screen.

After the CMS part of the site is up and running, I will look at creating a style to cover both options, on the left and at the top. For the interim, however, I think we'll stay with them on the left.

No to increased avatar size also, server load is the main reason I wouldn't want to go there, apart from the aesthetics.

Hamish - - or Alex - - [someone]........ please advise;-

The 'tag line' words which now display above green blobs..... how do we edit ??
I cannot find an appropriate link in any of the 'edit' options............

[ScottUK]

Bill, click SETTINGS (very top right) and then EDIT YOUR DETAILS (in left-hand column)

Thank you Scott.

[I feel sure that I have made this effort/attempt... but will re-try.

((( Imagine a time-lapse of [say] 2 minutes...)))

Done!

No comment on original question by Hamish, but find the letters smaller when I'm typing out the words (tho posted, are larger) and the blues, well, not a fav colour (and my chelonians lost their unique colouring). JMO

Cool that way. I agree with Kent with the signature issue looking odd for lengthy sigs... Anyway...

But my fav in the new things are those nifty floating flags!!
