Cluttered Colum?
Hi

< = = =

Does anyone else think that the colum on the left hand side with your username, title etc. is a bit cluttered?

Would it be better, instead of atually saying "user:", "title:" etc. just print

Make the username a normal size font, and then the title smaller undernetath.

It just seems a little cluttered at the moment.

Ah welll :-\

i don't want any column. i thin it looked better when the user/post info was above the post.

I dont particually mind Smile I do agree it does look a bit cluttered, but I actually like it where it is.

I'm not sure what you mean by cluttered.

I see several empty lines....infact there are more empty than populated.

The "thread" index isn't quite as cluttered as the "topic" index is. You know the one that has date, subject, author, views, replies, etc. when you click on a particular sub-forum.

It seems the subject column and author column should be swapped around (the author column is actually larger than the subject column) and I always seem to click on the author instead of the subject by mistake.Crazy

P: Oh Brain - I know... while we're waiting, we can sing the "Gilligan's Island" theme song.
B: Please Pinky... besides, I've only seen one episode of that insipid show.
P: Oh, which one was it? I know them all.
B: It was the one where that innocuous dunderhead Gilligan ruined it for everyone.
P: Hmmm... don't think I've seen that one.

I wonder if Jason is just adding all kinds of options that can be moved/changed - turned on/off later.


I see post # x of y has crepted in to the left column area.


Wil,
Where did you put the reply button ?? Crazy
I like where the post # is located though.

I would prefer having the side menu information posted above each thread like it used to be.

It would provide more of a viewing area for the thread contents and perhaps make it easier to copy the posts when needed.

Well, all these are template options, so you can pretty much make it look however you want. That's the beauty with templates. Don't like the # of posts being shown on the side? Take it out. Want some extra info? Write a global variable code ref, or if it's available, just add it in the templates...
