Thanks Bill, I think the current max sizes are pretty reasonable. one thing i noticed is there is actually a lot of space caused by the details in the profile info. For example, if someone has no photos, it should just leave it off, instead of saying "My Photos: (0)", currently there will be a lot of white space left at the bottom of each message.
Also, the myspace, online/offline status icon, Aim icon, all of these could be put onto one row, instead of column.
There should be a function in the top left or right corner that lets someone turn off all signatures and avatars if they want though, that helps. For example, when i surf from my phone, i prefer to have full functionality, but without all the images to have to load on the slower connection.
Also, one thing i do is, if i type a lot of posts in one thread, i start unchecking the "show your signature box" so people don't have to keep seeing my signatures.
personally i browse 1400 by 1050, so i think everything is fine the way it was. Gene/Cruzer8's signature is now nothing more than a thumbnail to me. Whereas before, i could immediately see he has chrome wheels for example, now i can't even tell. Personally i think everyone should have a signature image, and no avatar, this way we can see the perspective they are coming from when they ask a question, such as if Gene asked 'should i get silver accents or chrome' we wouldn't have to ask, 'well what kind of rims do you have'?
BTW guys, this is post number 666 for me. I hope i don't crash the server with my spinning avatar. |
