I made the member names smaller because of all_hail_the_crimson_king
his very long name stretched out the box.
We are just testing for now you guys, its easy to put back and I may end up doing just that if it doesn't work.
Edit--I just looked in IE, could you guys post a screen shot of the left side border you are talking about, I must have missed it.

Just make an executive decision and shorten his s/n to CSH.Originally Posted by Matt
Anyway, was weird loggin' in, with the new look, made me feel weird for a sec, as I was so used to how it looked. I am used to having AVs on the left though, so I'll adjust quickly. Not sure which I like better though.
I'm kind of the same.
At first, the av's on top were really hard to get used to but when I did, it was pretty cool.
I am really on the fence on how it should be. I looked at all_hail on dt.net (wondering how it was handled there) and his posts just off set
Meanning that area is bigger on his only. It messes with the symmetry of the page but not that much.
Not sure which way to go to tell you the truth, but its fun to learn new stuff about the board.

The black side(s) are really the same as before-to me. I went and looked at screen shots in my how to thread about hosting pictures and it looks the same.
Perhaps just the change just made me think it was different.
As for the long screen names, is there in fact a character limit? If not, at some point, someone will try something with 100+ words on it.
Ah--I'm glad problem solved on the black line, wasn't sure what I was going to do there
I am sure there is a default limit, I'll have to check that out.

Its 25.
His is right on the dot for max length.

Typical of CK, push it to the limit.

I do enjoy this format much more than the top avatar.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
I much prefer the left-side avs. Just think it looks nicer.
Left is great.
Anything right is just retarded

I liked it the way it was before. I liked it because it was different from other sites. I'll live, I guess.
Hmmm, that is the only "no" so far.

how about adding a poll?
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i liked the way it looked before a lot more, but this way is more convenient & takes up less space on the screen so i suppose i have to admit it's better.
I considered a poll but I wanted to leave it open for interpretation.

I actually liked it the other way, but mostly because of the larger size screen names.
However, on a how much do care 1-10 scale I only give the issue a 2.
This is much better - leave them Left!
I liked when our names were bigger, and I liked no black sides either.
I also liked when I was 21, and when I could fit into a size 3 pant... *sigh*
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
I think the black sides have always been there.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Yeah the black sides with the little design in them? Always there.
I was objecting to the black borders around each post, which Matt has kindly removed.
I do think I liked the names bigger, though, but really I'm with Randall - on a scale of 1-10 it's maybe a 3 on a good day.

maybe I'm just bitchy today then.
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
the black sides have always been there. when i don't have my screen maximized, i have to scroll to read an entire post, but i've kind of gotten used to that. is text wrapping not possible?
i like the left. it's more streamlined.
The minimized screen is a windows thing and totally common across the board.
Any page in a reduced window will cause scroll bars.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
actually, most other sites that i frequent have a text wrapping option so that the horizontal scroll is not necessary.
Ah, okay.
I will check into it SJ. Not sure what I can do about that since the nature of windows is to allow a scalable screen that can be used in cascading programs, for multi use.
If you have it on the "restore down" option (middle in the buttons on the upper right of all windows programs) maybe you could pull it out enough on the corner to make the scroll bars unnecessary. They should just disappear.
(its just a box when its on the "restore down" option that says maximize when you mouse over it)
Or I may be confused on what we are talking about.
could you maybe screen shot me an example of what you mean?
