Comment Thread Redesign

Font size could be a little bigger on the title.  Points font is too small.  Often I will cruise a post and read only the high and low pointed posts. 

I could get use to anything in the end.

I'd prefer the field to be white and the font bugs me (the current one is fine), but at this point I'm just being a bitch about it.

Come to think of it though, I like the now current style more than what was originally rolled out. But I prefer the header of what you've shown above. So, my druthers would be to replace the current header with what you show in the OP, and put a box around the current field. Done.

Thanks for taking the time to react to user feedback.

Whatever you choose will be fine, but Jeremy B, whatever you do, please don't change the font.  It's very pleasing on the eyes.  Thanks.

I like this design a lot. I like the comment border and the organization of the meta data in the header, but I'd also add total mgopoints. That'll make it easier to know when Mgoshoe overtakes Magnus for the mgopoints lead

Jeremy B the ammendments you made in the picture above are MUCH better than the current look of things.  

I agree with funkmob-starchild though, please keep the current font.

Also, can you please put the usernames and avatars back on the left side of posts?

With them on the right side as they currently are, I feel like I'm on bizarr-o Internet.

one aspect I liked but am not seeing now is whether or not someone is "online" or "offline".....I miss that!

Another suggestion...

On the main board page, can we get rid of the red "updated" thing?  When I glance over the page, that series of red "updated"s is really in your face and jarring.  The icons at the left of each thread are enough to indicate whether there are new posts in a thread.

Those imaginary posters have great avatars.  First-class.

I like the new design above.

However, I would like to see the poster's avatar/name on the LEFT, rather than on the right.  It doesn't make sense to have to look all the way to the right of the page in order to find out who said something.

I agree.  Avatars would be better on the left.  Also, I like the barely visible box outline but would make it one shade darker so it can actually be seen.

Header is better because it includes info that seems to belong in the header (e.g., date and time of post, points) instead of sort of floating along the bottom. Additionally, although the "no box" look is cleaner and sleeker, the boxes around each comment are helpful when trying to quickly separate comments and track who is responding to whom. Design matters, but it should improve function not detract from it IMO.

Your design looks good.  I agree with others that the avatar would work better on the left.  Having it on the right causes unnecessary left to right scanning

The new set up if fine, like others have said, i could get used to anything.  As for the mgopoints...   any time we vote on another persons thread, we lose a point?  Not that I care of course..

That is a nice improvement, change is inevitable, but that is change I can live with.

First, thanks for the attempt, it is an improvement. Next, my suggestions: I think the point totals are in the wrong place and make the border on the left too cluttered. I'd suggest moving the point total under the screen name in the border, and then move the join date and put it under the avatar. Lose the word "joined" and just simply have the date under the avatar--people know what it means. To me that would open the left side of the border up nicely and improve the design.

Um, where are the points?

In the header there are arrows then points - it would appear they are points for that specific post. 

But that's it.  No user point totals?

This has got my vote - and by vote, I mean metaphorical vote because I'm scared of losing so many points that I won't be able to post any more.

I like the borders, but the header box is too busy.

On the demise of Mgopoints, new points are created in the system by posting, so there is no necessary demise.

Looks fantastic

This would make it a helluva lot easier to go back to some of these big threads.

I like that better.  My only nitpick is that I'd prefer the username to be on the left.
