Forum attack

Okay. But there is an option for it to be enabled in a user's general settings so the individual user chooses how they wish to view the forum. It would not affect anyone who prefers the current format.

 

Would someone PLEASE fix all the issues brought to attention here? My screen is 1600 x 900 and I have problems with the posts. See here:



I call bullshit on that right there. I'd like to be able to see more than 1 or 2 posts at a time thank you very much.

 

Why would you want horizontal? It's so backwards and unconventional. How many websites use this? How do you even browse with it. No scroll wheel, you'd have to middle click and then mouse around which is unpredictable at times.

 

Use Adblock, (Right click a rank image and select adblock plus: block image) add the entire /Ranks/* folder and wholah, problem solved. No need to mess with the site at all, anyone with a grievance about the amount of space posts are taking up should use this method I'd suggest. I'm on a 1024x600 netbook display and no single line posts take up the whole of my screen any more.

I don't understand why people are insisting the whole site be edited when it takes users 2 mins to implement this fix their end.

 

Because it would be nice not to have to make modifications like that client side. It would be nice to see that someone has x thousand posts at-a-glance without it being an image so big it rivals their avatar. I've even thought of that as someone's avatar before now, and got confused when someone else posts in the same thread with it. It's nice to use avatars to see what user posted whilst scrolling quickly, not the other badge.

 

Because on mobile phone and tablets, it is not that easy. But I've done it on my main computer, and it is way better. Never liked these avatars anyway..

 

I know what you mean about the rank avatars Retro as I've mistaken two completely different members for the same person after thinking their rank was their avatar! though I've not had that happen since doing this which like I said literally took 2 seconds (since I already have adblock installed).

djelaba - Hadn't thought about tablets and phones, though I've not had any problems reading the forums on my Galaxy S2, never noticed a problem of huge one line posts.

I hear what you're saying though...

I keep avatars disabled on my phone and don't have this issue.

 

Yeah I know druid mate, hadn't occurred to me in my ignorance (see my post above yours).

 

I'm in

 

Yes! We need more smileys.

 

As ive said before i would be happy to help with with the theme, i'm no expert, artist or graphics designer... however i skinned vBulletin 3 from scratch for my own site, learning as i went along:



I then had to re create that from scratch for vBulletin 4, so have had a fair bit of experience over the last 5-6 years.

There's nothing really wrong with VB4 besides the CMS, its just the colour combinations and various random images here that make the site appear a bit unprofessional. It would be pretty easy to tidy Assemblergames up and keep people happy.

 

Yeah, I'm just used to an avatar being the prominent thing on a user's blurb. Here's a case in point:



Now, their usernames are only one letter different (OK, one uses caps, too). If scrolling through, it's easy to mistake one for the other... especially if, as on my screen's resolution, you have a thin view and you get just the top of a post.

Of course, removing them having an identical rank wouldn't change the fact that the only way you can differentiate Ave and Ape is that one's a cock and the other's a Muppet!

 

LMFAO!! Thanks mate, that made my day a little brighter...

 

What it looks like using OS X's fullscreen option on a 1920 x 1080 display. Thing is I didn't notice and was quite happy until you all started mentioning it but now... :-/

 

Gotta do something about this...

 

Its always look this way to me. Could be worse. Some guy on neo-geo has so many pics in his sig his sig takes up the whole screen.

I've made multiple attempts to help with the site, but it seem's assembler is either too busy or not interested.

Either way the offers i have made in the past still stand

I have 4 dual hexacore xeon servers in a segment of my virtual cluster that is hardly being utilized. There is a dedicated 25mbps upload line on these servers with no bandwidth limit. If we are ever in need of a server for any purpose i will gladly spin up a virtual machine and provide full access.

As far as making the site a bit more up to par i will gladly help with that in any way i can. Most of everything in vBulletin is fully configurable.
