    So one minute things look normal, user name at the top of each post, then out of nowhere, user name is in a column on the left, the length of each post. Did I do something to change the display? If I did, and I don't remember doing anything, how do I change it back?

    I think more important is do you like the change, or not?

    It makes sense, all member info is in one place, not spread across each post.:Thumbsup::Thumbsup::Thumbsup:

    I don't like it. Make it a changeable display option.

    That was a firm, NO. :)

    Anyway, it wouldn't be that bad if the "logged in" dot was right by the username.

    Still one for the No column though.

    +1 on the no, though having it be optional would probably be best if possible.

    I do like the holiday banners at the top..

    Ah, this was how THMMC has been for a while, so I'm used to it. Of course, Twister has gone and started upgrading things over there, so who knows what it is gonna end up looking like.

    Please don't tell me you are gonna migrate to 4.0 soon....

    Anyway. I looked and there is a hack where the individual can select the postbit location, either the horizontal that was here before or the current on the left. However, it will not supported in the next version of the base software that went live Monday. I'm not about to move to the new version for a quite some time. While it did go "Gold" on Monday that is in name only. There are still many issues with it.

    There are padding issues with the columns on the CMS when using Firefox.

    Since I know you were using the Garage before, it will be a few weeks before we have it ported to 4.0, there are new stylevars that will effect what we do and they will not be available till 4.0.2 in late Jan.

    I'm a 50/50 on this. It's a cleaner look in one way and I imagine I'll get used to looking for things that aren't where I automatically expect to find them. I agree w/ Nabeshin, the on/offline dot definitely works better for me next to the username, but the rest I'll get used to. Makes for a lot of empty white space though on short posts by folks with plenty of member info (and avatar) but little/no sig. E.g., check posts like 2, 10 and even 11...and maybe this one. Also makes posts like #6 look sort of strange to me since the sig is no longer always at the bottom of the post box.

    Cleaner look with the side, plus less scrolling. Best option would be to have an option to pick. I prefer the names/info on the side.
