New layout Poll

[BrianShaw]

I just noticed it. I missed the "new look" thread. I like it.

 

[einolu]

we need smaller avatars, something less than 100px x 100px. Also, I would rather have more recent images and comments and not have the 'in gallery preview' thing...

There's more "wasted" space in this new layout... all that blank area between the member name and member info could be used productively, as in the previous layout.

 

[FrankS]

I prefer the previous layout. There seems to be more and too much empty space with this new layout. I'm sure I'll get used to it though if we keep it.

New layout Poll

I will merge the 2 thread started on the new layout into one. Cast your vote again 🙂

old-style!

the avatars etc interphere with the flow of the thread.. it's annoying when all you want to do is read the thread and each time a lot of stuff gets in between.

it's like using a rangefinder versus an SLR.

too much stuff gets in beween you and the subject (photo subject / text) with the nex layout / with an SLR.

I like it, it's spacier and gives a more relaxed feeling. I hate web sites that are too busy. Unfortunately, I'm also very much against all those moving images, like the Photo Village commercial. I should switch it off in my browser. But anyway, I prefer the new layout.

I voted for the Old style, because I was used to it. This one isn't bad. It is spacious, but sometimes it gets a little funky and displays strangely.

 

[rbiemer]

I thought it was my browser acting weird, since it's not, it doesn't bother me either way.

edit: if it stays like this, can we have panoramic avatars to take advantage of the "extra" space? 100x 500 or so?

I like it, looks better and loads better on my MAC.

 

[back alley]

just to be clear, this is not my poll.
i started a thread asking if there was a new layout or if it was due to my computer.

after living with this layout for a bit of time i will say that i like it.
i find it easier to read and i like being able to see the avatars a bit better.
some of our avatars are are great little photos so i see it as a small bonus.

just my 2 cents...

while this is not simply a "new is innatly better, old is innatly bad", I like the new one. Maybe just because it is new, something fresh that gives RFF a new look. Kind of like being "reborn" 😱

another $.02 😀

.and the avatars are WAY too big..

and has anyone gone into a W/NW thread with a bunch of thumbnails? The big avatars located 'in' the threads makes looking through w/wn threads a paaaain....

a ONE line reply now covers 75% of my laptop screen. ONE line....

no option for "it don't matter to me"

no option for "it don't matter to me"

you're either "with us, or against us" 😀

 

[lynn]

I think the avatars are the same ol' size: 125 by whatever.
It's the new layout that gives them "presence".

 

[Socke]

I got used to it pretty fast.

 

[Honu-Hugger]

I find it distracting from the message content. It interrupts the flow of being able to seamlessly read down a list of posts. And it makes the sender information as primary as the message when it is actually secondary -- it easy to glance once to the side to see who wrote the post, in my opinion this information does not need to be displayed so prominently.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

I saw it happening last night (around 11pm CST). I also thought there was a problem with my browser at first. It is a little harder to read the threads this way, imho.

new layout sux. Purely for the reason that one has to scroll A LOT more now than before. The header being on top of each post makes the page longer...... The only improvement is the larger avater, but at the cost of more scrolling...
