The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

The forum software has been upgraded to the latest release.

You will notice that the profile boxes have jumped from the left side to the right side - this is intentional and actually the default configuration of the board. The idea is to have more focus on 'what' is being said rather than 'by whom'.

Let's give it a try for a while and see if you get to like it. If you've any strong feelings one way or the other, let me know below.

They still seem to be on the left for me and I am all in favour of it. I think I said before the reason that I dislike them on the right is cos i WANT to know who is saying something. All other forums I read, it tells me in the top left side of the post.

Why rock the boat?

I don't see the problem. Why don't people like change? You'll get used to it.

I don't fear change, I just don't see the point in this one. We'll just look right to see who's saying things instead of left.

I'm sure upgrading the software is probably worth it though.

If you really don't like it (and you use Firefox) then you can set them back by putting this in your userContent.css file: -

Code: Select all@-moz-document domain(chrismoyles.net) {
   .post .inner .postprofile {
      float : left !important;
      border-left-width: 0px;
      border-left-style : none !important;
      border-right-width: 1px;
      border-right-style: solid;
      border-right-color: #ffffff;
   }
   .post .inner .postbody {
      float : right !important;
      border : none !important;
   }
}

It's a file that Firefox uses to allow users to set custom styles. In XP it's located at :-
Code: Select allC:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile name>.default\chrome\userContent.css
If the file's not there, then just create a text file with that name (make sure you can see extensions) and put the above code in it.

Ah nobody gave it a chance really, i think if you said it is like this and it is staying like this it would work. That said i don't see the point of changing it from one side to the other.

The default display is on the right hand side, it was only really to save me changing it each time I upgrade the forum - but then it only takes a couple of minutes.

What everyone is used to works for me. It looked weird to me as well - in fact it doesn't work well without a page border, something that nobody liked when I tried it.

I never said I wouldn't, or that I wanted it changed back. Just that I didn't like it. Well he did ask.

Topher - don't ever dare complain about others moaning on this forum. I'll piss in your soup if you do.

Secondly - not a moan, but a question - since the upgrade, when I click on the 'view first unread posts' button, it used to take me to the first unread post. Now it seems to be taking me to the end of the last page (i.e. latest post). Is this just me or are others suffering? Will a clear of the cookies sort me out?
