Is it just me or does this format confuse everyones eye's?
« on: March 01, 2004, 10:53:14 PM »
EXAMPLE

Views : 77 Replies : 3 Posted by : Nickname
                                                       
Maybe it's the positioning of the colons, but I find my eyes read "77 Replies" totally ignoring the word "Views". Maybe the colour on the front page is also a factor.

I'd rather have it set out so the number comes first, like this:

77 Views - 3 Replies - Posted by Nickname

It just looks clearer to my eyes that way.

What do you expect when you have fried eggs for eyes, man?

Oh hell yeah.  IMHO the whole site looks awful.  My eyes hurt when I look at this page now :-/

The site, in the main, looks wicked but I'm glad you've brought back the hot topics in the forum at the top. I always check these out first and their absence was meaning I was going to Amigaworld.net where they have the same.

Well someone's implemented it :-D (I definitely prefer this slightly different news layout)

My fault.  I just got to thinking about it and was able to do it with minimal code hacking.

Just a wee thing...
There's a locked thread with a title like, "Oh no, b@stards, phew!" that although is not marked as sticky, always seems to be second from top in that forum.

@Cyberus.

Please realize that there are over 100,000 different threads here.  Thanks for pointing out this issue, but please give a URL when reporting an issue.  Make it easy on us old folks who have to remember how this stuff works eh?

It's not nice to make an old man think...  

:-)

Actually, in this case, for some unknown reason, the thread in question WAS marked sticky, hence it's incorrect placement.  Fixed.

It was the small hours of the morning and I was about to go to bed, hence not looking up the URL of the thread...
