Profile side, left or right?

[psi29a]

Right, so... now that I've officially gottenthe nudge from Femto that it would be preferable to have profile on the left rather than the right, and considering it has been a month and people have gotten used to it, lets have a poll!

So yes... the options are:

Right
Left
I don't care

[Femto]

This is the argument I put forth, verbatim:

It is kind of odd though.

We're used to reading from left to right and I was used to seeing who typed the post before I actually read it.

Now I read it, look at who wrote it and read it again to put it in context.

As somebody that's heavily studying sequential art and how the eye moves through text, I can tell you that it's very awkward and confusing.

[MrFelony]

i voted left, but going off of what femto said, maybe having it on the right would cause people to judge a post more by it's content than the person reading? i doubt it, but i'm just getting used to it being on the right.

[Femto]

Sticky please.

[LordMune]

Voting right because I'm a little contrarian bitch.

I've gotten used to it already.

[War Machine]

It feels awkward because all forums use the profile on the left and almost everyone's used to that, there isn't any real disadvantage to having it on the right. It's not really important to look at who's writing before viewing the message, and it won't hurt your eyes either. Plus, it makes the forums more original.

Also...

Now I read it, look at who wrote it and read it again to put it in context.

There's a great risk for bias when seeing who wrote the post before reading it (there will still be prejudice regardless, but you get the idea). Let them read the posts, be amazed by them, and then SURPRISE! Look the idiot who wrote it.

[Starnum]

Hm, while part of me really doesn't care, because it doesn't really matter, I guess I'll say left anyway. I'm more used to it being on the left, and like Femto was saying, it all flows more naturally to my eyes that way. While it's kind of cool having it on the right, I think my eyes would appreciate it being on the left more, if that makes any sense.

[Eldo]

Left.

It's better. And I'm used to it, I guess.

I agree with Femto. Not on everything, but what he just posted.

It has to be on the left. Easier to identify which member you're replying to or addressing.

Now that all 11 people in this forum has voted, I think we can go ahead an move it to the left.

[Femto]

Hahahaha.

[Starnum]

*Nods* I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Finito]

Maybe just put a option in the user control panel where he can choose between right/left so everyone is happy. Anyway voted left because I'm a moron according to Femto.

[Damien]

Either way is FINE to me.

[Eldo]

Just to bump the thread, 63% (12/19) of the people in the forum voted for left when this post was made.

So is that enough votes to change the avatars back on the left?

[Femto]

I think we should use this style:

Srsly.

[LordMune]

I am not opposed to this idea.

Vetoed!

[Femto]

Look at the glittering shit, man!

I honestly don't see how someone couldn't like that.

EDIT: And avatars are on the left!

Best style ever made.

I'll borrow the left side avatars, but I think Eldo would stab me otherwise.

Though, I could modify it be carebears instead of ponies.

[Femto]

Carebears > Ponies.

Unicorns > *

[Tempest]

Left.

Nay on Glitter.

Pegasus > Unicorn

[halfnhalf]

i enjoy the right, but whatever.



Griffin>Pegasus

I mean come on... lion plus hawk, damn. I mean look at the transitive property here. Lion> Horse, Hawk>Horse, so in turn a combo of lion plus a hawk mean double the ownage.

You just jumped way up my "favorite members" list because of that 100 Bullets set.

LordMune has been on a steady decline on said list for about a year now.

oh fuck you mister

[42ndEndOfTheWorld]

Just put it in the middle somehow.

[Deathbringer]

I think that every forum i went in the far fields of the internets, they always had the avatar on the left side so i´m already used to that format, ti´s easier to check out the creator of the post, not that it´s that important either way, i´m already used to how it is now.
