Meta: What the heck just happened to the post format??

Submitted by M-Wolverine on

It hurts my eyes! And is kinda hard to follow without the boxes and stuff. Maybe there's more dilithium in them.

Is this something breaking down, or the new format?

 

Edit: Sidebars are acting whacky too...something is up.

From what i can tell i like this new system.

It cost's a point to vote, makes you think alittle more before you vote.

Down votes are now -2, Up votes are now +4.  Makes all the sense in the world to me.

Everything feels much more, shall we say, free range. Commando, even.

The new voting rules make this more like No Limit Hold 'em. I'll be playing tight holding my votes close, and I'll let BlockM and others splash the pot.

First post in many months! Woo hoo, new corporate internet policy.

On comments/posts, can we please have the avatars and usernames put back on the left?  Having them on the right is really disorienting....it's honestly making me feel kinda dizzy and disoriented b/c every forum I've ever posted on, avatars and usernames are on the left side of the posts.

That honestly doesn't make sense to me......  Whether the avatar and username are on the right side of the post or the left side, the total width of them both is still gonna be the same.

Maybe I'll get used to it but right now I feel like I'm trying to read Hebrew since everything is backwards.

Exactly.  Avatars help personalize an internet discussion.  It's like a person's virtual face.  

With them on the right and kind of out of view it feels like it's not really a conversation but just words on a screen since the context that a person's avatar sets isn't right there when you start reading the post.
