Clutter...too much!!! =/

[bgreen]

I see way too much clutter on the forums. Especially with people putting huge and/or moving pictures in their signatures. Add to that when people "quote" other people, and it gets hard to tell where one person's message ends and another person's begins.
Basically, I think the outlines between posts in a thread should be thicker and/or a darker color. adding my two cents to the suggestion box! thanks!

Maybe you need to get used to forums?

[phlegmem]

it becomes easier to distinguish between posts.

i do agree that there should be a thicker line though

cause sometimes the posts
merge together

oh yeah
cause that faded grey line is like
so substantially dark and visible...

I can't say I've had this problem, or the problem with quotes that you described, and I was going to make a post similar to Zang's (using a few more words).

@op, make your feelings known in the thread about signature height.

Things that would make it better:

• Not having the titles on response posts (ex: Re: Clutter...too much!!! =/

• Not having a line the exact same size and width at the top as the signature break.

You get post subject titles on pretty much every forum provider.

Also, there has to be a divider between the post and the signature to distinguish between the two. How are you suggesting we improve it?

If it was moved to the upper right corner of the post it would be more distinguishable.

And they were saying the line should be thicker/darker.

I don't have this issue, but I remember when I was first looking at a forum it looked confusing like SHIRT. I think adding an extremely clear separation will be an easy and helpful addition. It's not hard and it helps newcomers, so why the fuck not?

Remember that making changes like that may not be as easy as one would think, with this being a sub-domain and all.

Yeah... it's true. We have a decent amount of control over how the site looks but not total control.

[NormanTheOne]

Oh.

[thelighterdark]

In the site's defense, it is pretty easy to see what is the post and what isn't because most everyone's signature starts with a picture and what not, so it's rare that I would ever actually keep reading a signature thinking it's a post. xD

Unless of course, drugs were being used.

yea, bgreen, I think you might just need to get used to the forum format. At first it can be somewhat overwhelming but once you get the hang of it, its easy to know where to find what you are looking for.
