What do you think of New Layout?

Cannot unsee!

I opinion is that you really need to add the Location back to the basic ever present information on every post.

Here is a example:
User Name: magnificent.time
His flag says .BG
What country is that?---I don't know.
I have to go to hip user profile page then click on his About Ma Page.
Then I can see that he is from Bulgaria.

The Flags are cute and all but you need the basic "Location:" back on every post.

Regular Windows users can "right click" the flag and click "properties" and it will display the name of the country.

Modee, that really only works to a degree. If the user does not know forum speak, they can get a topic started that has existing threads.

aspkin knows by now I grumble about change in some things. However I do appreciate the efforts being made to improve everything. I really really like the fact that a post is much neater & does not have broken lines. Not fully happy about the new layout but I know it is at the tweaking stage at present.

For people who come to the forums every once in awhile, the home feature is great for them. It makes it easy to check on recent thread posts and reply or whatever easily instead of going to the main forums and looking up different threads that way.

For people who are on the forums daily and are used to and have no problem navigating the main forums, you may find home unnecessary.

But I have noticed more users on the forum now, more threads being created and more posts from members. About a 30% to 40% increase. Which is pretty awesome I think.

It needs more tweaking, but I think it's a good change.

The layout looks ok on my laptop but on the iphone YUK! I don't like the layout of the forum on the iphone.

I do not run a Windows Platform.
I run a Mac platform and I am not the only one... I know Modee does also.

I need to wrap the forums to prevent this from happening.

I noticed it too.

Where have moods gone?

John14789 · #34 01-16-2009

You know what the layout is starting to look alright. I guess you just have to get used to it.

**aspkin** · #35 01-16-2009

Hah!

It needs a bit more work, but yeah I think it'll do alright.

I'm pretty busy right now with other things, but I'll get back to it when I can.

I think we've out grown the moods.

What I liked that you 1st did after the Mods, was when you clicked the BIG "Ebay Suspensions Forum" icon in the upper left hand corner it took you to "Recent Threads".

But I see you now you have changed that to take you to "Main Forums".

I liked it BEST when that link took you to "Recent Threads".

**aspkin** · #37 01-16-2009

You did? I kind of did too.

I'll change it back.

One of the parts I most dislike is that all threads are not the same width. This thread is wide & good to read. Other threads are not like this one. (stunted

Hmmmmmmmm...They both look the same on my computer?

GreenBean · #40 01-16-2009

Not on mine. Might go kick it. All layout has shrunk now. Where has the latest posts list gone?
Great. Bah humbug

**aspkin** · #41 01-16-2009

Looks the same to me, what browser are you using Greenbean?

Oh, if you're talking about the main forums, http://www.aspkin.com/forums/

Then, I got rid of latest posts for right now because it expanded the forums in a bad way with lower resolutions.

Now it's not all stretched out when viewed using an iphone or small res... as John complained.

What are you, a LIFO (last in first out) processor? The last idea presented to you gets the best consideration? :-)

Not really, I liked it as well I just needed someone else to like it as well I guess. I changed it back for other reasons, no one seemed to care either way.

GreenBean · #44 01-16-2009

A very misbehaving Firefox.

Thanks for putting the latest posts back in &
deleting highest posters. Any chance of a couple of different similies? LOL
