Another thing you could put in the new right column is a forum rules/guidelines panel. Just have it present them like they're listed in this thread.


That's a good idea coke. Swapping the two columns fixes the readability issues I've been having. There's no barrier between the post and the right column...and it just feels wrong.

My Grifball user page.
So if you really want to get to know me, you're welcome to add me anywhere.

I agree. It would probably also help stop most of the major complaints, too.

Yikes. Wasn't expecting this when I did my "meh, got nothing better to do" log in.

Holy crap, everything is so cramped here.

How about a way to adjust the screen resolution to something besides 800x600?

Yes, several images and stylesheets have been updated. Probably a new build next week.

And no, the optimatch thing wasn't your idea... or at least, we didn't do it after seeing you post about it.

Thank you :)

I don't know, I don't really like the stickies where they are. Its not just that it cramps and uglies up the page, but they seem completely seperate from the forum. Here are the threads, and then here are these pinned threads.

(Oh noes! My old account got deleted while I wasn't looking. This makes me sad. :( )

Eh, I guess I kinda like the new look. I did notice though that thread links no longer display who the last person to post a reply is, which annoyed me.

Im not really a fan of this update. The last one was incredible and really took my breath away, this update made me say 'bugger' more times then 'woah'.

The separated sticky threads (while an excellent idea) are starting to slightly annoy me.
Is there really a reason to have them displayed while going through a thread or posting a reply? I appreciate that you want more people to visit the moderator notices but its not particularly pretty or subdued, rather distracting really.

Also was there a technical reason for removing the 'hover mouse over emblem to display sig' feature?

The only thing that really is bad is the removal of the name of the last poster being shown. That was pretty vital, really.

All other complaints I've read are kind of subjective and whiny. I think it's good overall.

I think we got it how we want on the topics page and the create post page (minus a few little things like the missing pager on the right and the last reply author, which are being added back).

I'd say that is a yes.

It is annoying not being able to jump straight to the last page with the "pinned" topics or see the name and time of the last post.

Also annoying on the main threads not being able to see who posted last.

It now takes three clicks just to find out if someone has responded. I check things at work and don't have time to look through every post and every "pinned" topic.

Please change this one small aspect back to how it was.

Turn west on Broadway, and right at the second light on Welchester Road. There is a dirt path about a 1/4 mile way up, turn onto it. When you hit the interstate 56 sign pull back onto the road. From there take the road 38 miles towards Wisconsin. Get off at Exist 73 and take that street to Vermont Road, and take a left at the stop sign. Go down that street to the fifth house on the left. Go into the backyard and open the shed. There you will find my leaf blower, its yours to keep.

I am rather disappointed that the sigs are gone... =(

They're not gone (use the little down arrow and click).

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

I can get used to it probably, but for now having everything cramped to the left side of the screen is kind of annoying. At least make it so posts and stuff are on the right side of the screen. In theory I think that would be better...

Edit: And the sig thing is annoying too. I know you can click the arrow, but when I do it barely shows my sig at all.

Well, yeah but no one's going to click that arrow very often so having a sig is almost useless. I liked it back before the New Hatnesses existed, where your sig was at the bottom of every post you made.

Are they going to edit it so we can see who posted last?

1. I like the new look

2. Shouldn't the pinned topics be on the left, so that people see them first? With those topics being on the right, even more people will miss the READ ME FIRST topics.

3. If you are following along with a topic closely, it is no longer easy to tell if someone replied to your last post in that topic, since the last poster name is no longer shown in the topic heading area. Now you have to either remember exactly when you last posted, or you have to go into the topic to see if anyone new posted, which will take up more server/database resources, if everyone is having to do this.

I believe so. We need this feature. I can casually glance at a thread I was posting in to see if there are new replies (without remembering the number of replies).

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

My personal opinion about the placement of the topics bar is thus:

-Only have it displayed on the topic listings
-During create posts and in threads have it either to the left (like you suggested) or remove it altogether and centre the text box and thread replies.

Also sigs are too small. I understood the reason behind limiting there size when they were mouse-overs but now that you have to physically click the drop down arrow it makes sense to have a larger sig than before.
