Where should the poster info be?

JPnyc

Tell me where you want the poster info to be. On top as it is now, or at left like it was.

bubblenut

Well, 100% of the vote for the left. I'd say that's pretty unanimous 😉

JPnyc

Looks like 50% to me.

laserlight

Well, anyone who calls the cops doesnt count :p

bubblenut

It's a conspiracy, they're rigging the votes! Call this a democracy!

JPnyc

Who said this was a democracy? The board is hosted IN a democracy........

Careful there bubblenut, Big Brother doesnt sound too happy....

bubblenut

Ah, good point.

LOL, not getting too many votes are we. Well I didn't put a time limit on the poll so we'll leave it open for several days at least.

Jason_Batten

On top. Having it at left squashes the posts too much 0 0%

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ahhh...

*goes back to his corner

How about a 4th option? "Define poster info" you mean the old box that used to be on the left that had the images and post counts? hmm thats why this place looks so weird....

Guess I gotta go with on the left.... this looks annoying as it is now 😛

I assume you can add a time limit or shut down the poll at some later time?

'Cuz we do have a "gentleman's agreement" around here to limit posts to a maximum of 90 days or so. We had quite a time figuring out who the "masked bumper" was AAMOF . . . 😃

I've not voted yet, 'cause I have not yet decided. I will mention one thing that I don't think I like, but it could just be PEBKAC ... it seems that the board is indenting the first line of PHP code blocks automagically ... ???

JPnyc

There, it's at left

Isnt that just a theme type setting? if so why not make it user dependant?

btw, left is much nicer 😉

JPnyc

Can't, its not a theme setting. It's a global one. Even if you change the theme that would remain.

eww atleast with phpBB you can theme it.... reason #2 that I wonder why they went with VBulletin.... 😛

You can do tons more with the adminCp than you can with phpBB. Much easier and more powerful to administer. At least the last version of it that I used. And the new version, still in beta, promises to be the best ever

hehe, never seen the VB admin panel, only the user side, but anything I needed to do was done in phpbb (i mean that had to be done was doable) and if it wasnt.... its a coding forum.... fix it if it dont do what you want! :evilgrin:

TheDefender

Going off topic now... JP, where'd the option go to change the status text under the avatar? (BTW, I definitely like it on the left too... It makes everything sooooo much easier to read when quickly scanning the page, since it puts things back into a familiar setting)

thorpe

the poster info doesnt bother me at all the way it is, though maybe it was a little nicer on the left. the bit that is bugging me is the php code blocks. the scroll bars need to go! it was fine (great even) the way it was before.

if you can get that working i'll be happy.
