New Forum Style

[Andre_online]

I think it's the font that he used. Hehe! Anyways, I'm just glad that I didn't have any troubles with my sig or whatsoever when this new skin was uploaded. Save me the troubles of uploading again.

[Fishwhiz]

It wasn't old... it was an antique masterpiece that should be kept for an eternity. And fishwhiz, you do realize that you spelled your name wrong in your own sig, right?

yes, that was some dude in the sig request thread who did that actually. and i don't care.

[Driv2Slow]

Also with this new style I've noticed, for me atleast, that I have to leave the forums completely for some topics to not say that there are unread posts. I went to the Help & Support forum and posted, but it still said there were unread posts, but there was only one topic with "unread posts" and no one else had posted in it yet

[xHaZxMaTx]

Hmm, haven't had that problem.

Y'know, with all the extra space in the user info table, we could up the maximum size of avatars to, say, maybe 150x150 pixels? Or 125x125?

[2furio]

Yes there was... it was old

Oooo please, we're on a car racing game forum, not a fashion/design one.

Woah...woah...woah...so then the avatars will be all in your face? 100x100 is just fine...the forum is to discuss and talk about things, not to stare at other people's avatars...

[xHaZxMaTx]

Meh, just a suggestion.

[BrontoX]

Actually the thing with the avatar will actually be good cuz if they are bigger we can spot them more easily so it makes up for not being on the left.

[Porsche-AG]

No it won't... nothing can replace the position. That's like saying that putting the steering wheel of the car on the right (or left for you Euros/Asians) will not cause any difficulties if you make the steering wheel larger. That's just idiocy.

[BKize_GT]

But avatars don't control forums do they

[Porsche-AG]

Okay, we can play with that.

Let's try comparing the avatars to a turning signal then. It wouldn't make sense to put the left turning signal on the right and increasing the size/brightness of the signal. Everyone would be confused. Both the avatar and the turning signal let others know who/what you are (doing).

[ahmad0410]

Firstly, people in this forum reads from the left, to the right. So before reading (left to right), isn't it appropriate to look at who's posting first (avatars), before the post is read?

[xHaZxMaTx]

^^^^^^^^^^

That and you can see people's signatures, as well. Having avatars on the left is really not as big a problem people are making it out to be.

Exactly, people are complaining that the avatar is on the RIGHT and it just doesn't make sense, like the 2 previous posters before you explained.

[SP4RCO]

Notice the difference? It became a sexy board!!!

[2furio]

Awww, you got me excited for a little while. You just photoshoped the picture, didn't you?

[BrontoX]

Yes he did, notice the gap between the post and the avatars?

[2furio]

It looks so nice though. Bojan, are you reading? Take notes from SP4RCO.

[prince1142003]

Bojan, would it really be that hard to use CSS to position the avatar box on the left?

[Bojan]

Well, the avatars and other unimportant information about the user will stay on the right. It's the post that counts and that is the first thing visible on the left, right under the name of the poster and the date posted.
It's one of the features I liked the mosted when I first saw phpBB3's new style.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Well then, Bojan, you leave your members no choice - We must REVOLT!

[BrontoX]

Yeah *insert evil laugh here*

No offense Bojan but members are more important, after all it's us who live up your forum, it's us who post, etc...

[xHaZxMaTx]

Oh snap! I just found out that with the forum update, you can log out and log back in without having all the posts marked as read.

C'mon, Bojan is from Slovenia. His first language's not English.

[BrontoX]

Or that was just a Typo.
