I've set us to the new format for the week to see what everyone prefers. With this new style avatars can be larger. I've now set permissions to allow for avatars 350 pixels wide by 115 pixels tall.

I do not like it

Dylan@Adams · 11-10-2008, 07:36 AM

To be honest most of us are

about it because no forum really uses this format. It's actually the "new" style for forums. It allows for larger avatars and breaks up user info to both sides of the screen. I'm thinking we give it 24 hours and if it's still cumbersome we'll switch back to legacy and revisit it later.

Part of the reason I don't like it is because it allows avatars to be as wide as signatures, and it looks weird that way.

Maybe if you restrict signatures to text only it would look better, but people may object to that too.

I'd prefer the old way, or maybe there's an option in the Admin Control Panel to allow users to set their preference?

Well, that didn't last long.

LOL nope - forum has to remain popular in it's infancy and feedback on the format was pretty negative.

Thanks for listening

The picture of the car in the forum location bar is not good because you can't read the words.

It's being updated so it'll be easier to read
