I think that's the dealbreaker.
With all the info accumulated on the side, it's neat, it's tidy, it's all in the one place - visually it makes more sense, it's easier to comprehend. Thus, it looks better. I mean, you wouldn't like a bird who's head was in one place and her ass five yards away: much better to have it neatly aligned.

Seems pretty weighted towards the side, so "Screw It, Let's Do It", as the fella said...

All ok?

Voted for it myself. Just one thing though - could you, please, put styles on the 'new thread' and 'post reply' buttons so they appear like they used to? Other than that it pleases my eyes.

Yeah, even just aesthetically, the rounded green button looks so much better than the square red one.

Ah but pushing the big red button is just irresistible! (which, I suspect, might be the point.)

The "thanks stats" don't seem to have been integrated, maybe purposely so, I dunno.

The guy who did the original template did a set of buttons for me - a sample is attached - but as vBulletin developed buttons were missing and wrong, and I didn't have a development kit to speak of. So I colourised the standard vBulletin buttons myself, and switched them out. I never liked the colourised standard buttons though, they're very big and extremely ugly.

I made my own buttons with CSS yesterday, with the intention of swapping all the rest out with something similar, however that's not going to work as some of them are scripted with onClick actions. Instead I'm going to take screenshots of what I have, and use those images instead. I'll see what I can do about rounding them. Red to encourage clicks, certainly, but also because I can't use the darker green used up top, as it gets losts in the header bar just below it.

I removed the Thanks stuff from the sidebar as it was looking very cluttered. I'm going to put the Club from the user's profile there instead. The Thanks stats are still in user's profiles.

I've restored the stard buttons until I find something better,

It looks like there's plenty of room there to me.

It was handy having the stats over there as I could see if someone thanked another post without having to click around my profile. It's nort a big deal but it'd be nice to have it back.

Yeah, I'd agree. It's easier to establish my self-worth that way. Although a "User's club" caption would be good too.

**dahamsta** · 31/08/2009, 4:48 PM

I knew there was supposed to be doing! All done now.

Way it should be imo. If I had my way post count would be disabled too.
