Status now? *sigh*

[Nifft]

"Status" (i.e. the tweetbar) seems better & more easy to use than the old Custom User Title.

I vote that the Status space simply replaces the Custom User Title space. They're doing basically the same thing anyway.

Morrus, is this part of the vB4 roll-out?

Also, I agree with Nifft; it's more flexible than the user title and having both of them clutters the left screen.

Exactly!

It's what EN World would be if I wasn't allowed to make changes.

I notice you still haven't changed your hairstyle back to the way it was.


I'm on to you!!!!111!#@5

Well, I don't see that status thingie as annoying, but could live without it (basically indifferent about it).

However, I think it looks pretty dumb there right below the username.

It should either be below the avatar or not start with the username, but immediately with the text... like

Morrus
is trying

There is also too much free space between Username / Status / Title, which looks ugly.

I agree with Thanee.

Making your "status" more important then your user title or community supporter status doesn't seem correct. Hierarchically it makes more sense if the status was below the misc. user info as below:

USER NAME
Title
Community Supporter

STATUS MESSAGE

I will never change EN World again in any way.

It seems that most of the complaints you're getting for the changes you're making are related to the Twitterification/Facebookification of ENWorld. That is, putting more and more little bits of information out for viewing. Not everyone needs/uses ENWorld as a duplicate Twitter/Facebook site.

I wouldn't mind seeing status flipped with custom user title either.

I'm down with status though - it opens up a whole new world of comic possibilities...

Ideally we end up with many of these things customizeable via the control panel, so you can see what you like and hide the rest. We'll be experimenting for a while, though. Don't panic.

True, but if EN World kept itself strictly to the features that everyone needs or uses, I'd be willing to bet each of us would lose some features we really like.

True. I didn't say the features shouldn't be available. I was just pointing out the common factor among the complaints.

For myself, I'm fine with ENWorld having more features; it's a good thing. What kind of annoys me is having all the features out on display even if I'm not using/wanting them.

Like "Bullgrit has no status." Or "has disabled Experience Points." Or having my XP comments show up publicly in the post. Or having others' XP comments show up publicly in my post. Let me turn all that off.

This would/will shut up a lot of complaining, I bet.
