I notice the usernames and whatnot have gone to the side of the post, rather than the top of the post. I like this.

That's feedback!



Oh! Is this new? If I click the rep icon on my own post, it tells me how much rep I've got, and how much the post has received. Even if it isn't new, I just noticed it.

I really like this layout, it's the way I've been using vB for years.

BTW: Wow, you guys have sooo many styles to choose from.

The only thing I don't like is that it makes some of the user's posts look wonky and not in line with others. This thread is an example http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=97519

It seems to only be on those with long usernames.

You chose that thread just to tease me didn't you?

BigDaddy, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Many of the forums I post on/read use this layout. I really like it.

I might be tempted to turn avatars back on, because it makes it so much easier to just NOT look at them--if they're off to the side. Yay! Probably will still leave them off though.

Signatures though, still have to remain off. Until D. makes it so they're all invisible or really really tiny, which, I guess isn't happening. (Since apparently, changing things to make simplysomething happy isn't really high up on the list of things to do....)

There are a lot of skins to choose from. I use...uh...I dunno, default? Back when the default was the bright bright green/blue, I used spring.

ETA: Lovin linked to a post in the SCM. We'll see you there in a year or so.

Don't feel BigDaddy, I can't access it either.

And the change will take a few days to grow on me even though I use it on other sites.

The thanks is then obvouisly something different than rep? I kinda thought that was the point of rep, someone thanked you in a big way so you gave them rep. So thanks is? Do you do both? Can you do both for one post/user?

Be careful never to post links to the SCM in public

Uhm, I don't like it. I don't like change. It freaks me out. Do I have an option to change it back? If not i guess I will get used to it

I'm not sure how I feel about the change. I'm so used to it being the other way it's going to take me some time to get used to. And I agree with lovinwaves about it making post with long user names look out of wack. That does bug me a little.

Oh, and exactly what is this thumb thing? I see it down on the bottom of the posts but, um, why? Why wouldn't you just give someone rep? Seems like double work.:shrug-shoulders:

I'm resistant to change, but I love the new orientation!

Is it finally time for me to get around to requesting a shorter screen name?

Yours isn't long enough to make yourself out of line, at least not on my screen. Looks like you *just* fit.

I'm with HEVY - is there a way to change it back?

Wow, when you're thanked there's a box underneath the thread saying you were thanked and by who.

I'm thinking it might be useful when you can't give someone rep? For example, if I give Defrost some rep, I can't rep her again for I don't know how many posts and if she posts something helpful to me, I can then "thank" her instead so she knows she helped even though I couldn't rep her.

Also, it's also quicker to click the thanks button instead of quoting/replying and typing thanks so it can be a time saver and space saver. :thumbsup:

No come on someone, thank me for my brilliant insight!
