Looks like there were some style changes made yesterday.

Don't like the new format! I prefer the older avatar on left style.

Just feedback

Thanks trapehzoid, exactly the feedback were looking for. Wasn't too sure how this would fly over with members and planned to announce it today.

Anyone else like/dislike the new layout? It was designed to better fit the charter members/staff member badges and the coming "Premium Member" badges. Don't worry the site will NEVER become a paid site, we're just looking to highlight the members that donate through our donations system.

Let us know!

For me.. I'm just used to the 'traditional' vbullitin layout. I do like your style template though. Very easy on the eyes in terms of color, etc. The only thing I don't like is its often hard to find the 'new thread' button in particular, and sometimes the 'quote/reply' etc. Maybe they just need some more visual distinction. Though I think the 'new thread' button needs to be at the top of the page too, not just the bottom.

I prefer the left-hand margin too. I also think the POST REPLY button needs to pop out more.

You've got a point there. In fact I think I could help it A LOT by simply moving it over to the right so it's right below the last post under the "edit/quote" buttons.

Is there any easy way to see all the post you have posted/replied your self?
I find as the forum grow its is harder and harder to keep track of topick you are activly talking in. Dont get me worng I read every single post that comes up on this forum (never done that on any forum before) but somtimes I just havent got that time to answer.

Only way I know to keep track of this is QuickLinks>My Profile>Find all Post by XXXXX

SkyLark,

Since you requested it, I will implement it :D Look for it within the next few hours. In place of the "New USENET Posts" link there will be a "Show My Posts" link (only when you are logged in of course)

Edit: Moving this to the Feedback forum

How about a 'Top of Page' link on every post?

That way I don't have to figure out whether I'm closer to the top or the bottom to decide to scroll down to the Top link or scroll up to the New Posts link. Just a minor thing...
