I actually enjoy it on the right at the moment. You suckered me in, so don't change it.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
I feel like I need to throw in my 2 cents on this one.
Keeping the avatars on the right is ridiculous. I dont think I've ever been in a forum in which it was on the right side.
I feel like I'm in Europe and driving a car on the wrong side of the road or something.

Better get used to it, as it is the default on phpBB3 meaning that as boards upgrade... they too will be on the right hand side.Buzkashi wrote:I feel like I need to throw in my 2 cents on this one.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
I think you should randomize it for every post (or thread) just to keep people on their toes.

now i like this idea.
Re: Profile side, left or right?
Restart the poll with random in the choices?
Re: Profile side, left or right?
So, are we waiting for the poll to expire first, or something?

Re: Profile side, left or right?
Well, he said that "right" is the default, maybe it's a little tricky to move it to the other side.
Anyway, instead of being random, why not alternate sides for each post? It wouldn't look bad either.

We'll waiting for psi to find the time to do it. With the recent DOS attacks and so forth, it wasn't a great time to implement such changes.Starnum wrote:So, are we waiting for the poll to expire first, or something?
Also, although poll results show more than 60% of the people voted for the left side, remember this isn't a democracy, nor do the votes outcome mean absolute changes. psi primarily wanted our opinions and he is quite happy with the avatars on the right. He told me that there will be a choice in the user control panel or something to choose between left or right side, to appease those, um, 4 people that voted for the right out of 30.

Come on guys, i'm a little busy at the moment. With all the shit that has been going on, just give it time.War Machine wrote:Well, he said that "right" is the default, maybe it's a little tricky to move it to the other side.

by default i meant that is how the theme/template was coded. There is no magic switch.
Re: Profile side, left or right?
Oh, I understand man. Take your time, I was just wondering what the case on this issue was. It's all good.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
My god, this shit comfuses me. I am too used to things being on the left side. Why must you want to be different?!?!?!
Re: Profile side, left or right?
I dunno, ask the nice folks at phpBB, it is their default design.Dio wrote:My god, this shit comfuses me. I am too used to things being on the left side. Why must you want to be different?!?!?!

Is that a weird thing to say?
Re: Profile side, left or right?
I just updated to phpBB3 rc3, and the default is still on the right hand side.
I'll go ahead and implement the left hand side profile when time permits but it will make updating this theme more difficult in the future. Oh well, such is life.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
So, what does everyone think?
I think it looks crap-tastic.
So, if anyone wants to spend some time fiddling with CSS to make it suck less, then by all means send your results my way.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
I had a bitch of a time getting things to look decent, which required me to put a min-width of 1024px to make sure it didn't fuck anything up. So now our 800x600 users can't view the forums without scrolling to the right and left.Femto wrote:Why?psi29a wrote:I think it looks crap-tastic.
Next up that annoys the hell out of me is the fact that I can't read the content without looking at the profiles. I'd much rather just read the content and move on, having it on the right allowed me to ignore it till I wanted to look at it considering that it never changed. The important part is the content, not the profile.
That is from someone who reads other forums and has been around for awhile.
So, now you know why.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
That's exactly what I said. You read the same profiles again and again because they're at the beginning. My vote is still on the right.

Re: Profile side, left or right?
Also, the banner that displays when someone is online is now running in the wrong direction and is mostly hidden behind the avatar.
Edit: And as soon as I post that, I see the banner is now running in the correct direction.
