I don't do well with change but this isn't too bad. I'm guessing the lack of bottom bar answers are a subtle way of telling us to get used to it? :twitcy:

As of now, we're going to stick with the bottom bar. I expected to hear some negative feedback from it, as is always the case with any change. As always, your input is appreciated. Not ignoring you guys. Just a lot going on today.

Are there any options to add more ads to the page? Or at least an option to overlay bars on the other edges of the screen? I still got 3 sides of the screen that are begging for something obnoxious to cover them up with

edit: I mean look, there's still a decent 15% chunk of the initial view that contains the content users are actually looking for:

There has to be a way of adding more crap into that section you'd think

I have put in a fix for the signature wasted space issue, please report back on if it looks better.

While we're making changes... any chance we could get tags added for topics about various tv shows\movies\olympic results (last one not needed for another 2 years, but still)

Spoiler tags are easy to add, it will be after a few other things but certainly an easy add.

Sweet, thanks. Definitely not a huge priority, but one of those 'nice things to have'

Just a second there my main page had the recent posts all bunched together similar to how it used to be... then it disappeared when I refreshed.

If you guys work on a concesus for how you'd like to see the spacing and it isn't disruptive to the overall site, I can make the changes to make things flow better.

I was toying around with an alternate way of displaying the recent threads with some css, xml changes. Prod=Dev today:)

I liked what you had there for a second where they were essentially one line after the next. It's nice to not have to scroll as much to see the recent threads.

Just something a little more condensed would be nice. I have the signatures and stuff turned off and posts are still pretty long. You're a crappy person to pick on because you have your username, the title, admin button, 3 bars, Achievements, 2 smaller pictures, the rep par, and then the join date, posts, points, and level. Most people obviously won't have that but I have a feeling when I get to a smaller screen the height of the posts is going to be annyoing.

There are new bars and things on the side of the forums! Holy ****!

Does this mean coupons are in the future?

***Edit: On second thought, I hate the new sidebar, where are my credits!
