Old thread: 2012 Forum redesign

One-Eye

Further to my post #52 these shots show more clearly the layouts I am suggesting. I apologise that the four pictures are varying sizes, but you will get the idea.

1) OLD


2) NEW


3) POSSIBLE
The heading has been reduced to a single line and the post number # mark is back. Note that the signature is exactly the same as the ‘OLD’, but the avatar and post/thanks detail is to the left. The avatar is larger than with the ‘NEW’.


4) POSSIBLE exactly the same as 3) but with signature off in UserCP

Got back to stretchy thank goodness, thank you Ian.

Under NEW new MSE forum design the auto-generated links look really messy.



Sorry, that should be bigger. :wall: But you get my point.

And I still detest the sidebar. It takes up too much room at the top of threads, then disappears leaving a massive hole at the middle of threads and lower.



I suggested in a previous thread that the side bar be closeable with the forum stretching out to take its place. Is that a possibility?

Well... I actually quite like the changes.

The only thing I've ever wanted from this forum was some way to recognise the Original Poster in a thread. Pistonheads forum has a small arrow next to all posts in a thread made by the OP, which makes a long discussion much much easier to follow.

As for the new look, nope sorry, went straight back to stretchy I'm afraid.

edit: okay,do you have an ability to allow viewing of full size images?
that screen grab is from a 28" screen
on other VB forums,it resizes but gives the option to click and view in full size
oh,and I still find the fixed width in a forum format a waste of space

as I said on the site ideas thread
the forum I mod on has the OP,and subsequent posts with a different background colour to their posts

lol. That really does demonstrate how mind bogglingly daft such a narrow fixed width default is.

It's fine saying that you have the option to use the stretchy one, but that only works when you are logged in.

Like with all new things it's a matter of getting used to it and we'll do that in no time.
