Site supporter 'avatars' to big.

[Walking Dad]

Sorry I have to say this, but I don't like the big, colored 'community supporter' signs around the avatar. Something more that distracts from the text and decreses the text space.

And I prefer to be able to read my posts in 'standard' color before I post them.

There should be a way for Community Supporters to switch them off or back to the standard avatars.

I think a smaller badge above or below the avatar would be better, something about 100 px wide and 20 px high.

Then there would be no need to switch them off.

(Shrug) I like it. Maybe shrink down the "EN" logo a bit?

MUCH TOO BIG.

Jesus, are you people being paid off by widescreen monitor manufacturers?

It seems like every change so far has decreased my ability to view EN World in anything less than 1024-wide window. I have other uses for my screen real estate, you know.

Even Gleemax isn't this bad anymore.

What about the alternate postbit style, where the user info is above the post? That should save real screen estate (though it increases scrolling).

Cheers, LT.

Shrinkling down the logo would be the best option, IMO.

However, it might be a good idea to tone down the logos' colors a bit. They're almost neon and contrast too much with the background. Just my opinion.

If someone nudges someone else to remind them of something, suggesting that the someone else be nudged less significantly to the point that they do not notice rather defeats the purpose. Allowing them to avoid being nudged altogether once they no longer need reminding, however, seems like the way to go.

I agree with both of these.

If you must highlight mods & community supporters, and I don't think it's universally good to do so, there are many less visually intrusive ways to do so.

For mods, the giant glowing logos may hinder their ability to participate in conversations as normal posters. I'd much rather see red text as their exclusive domain, since it's visually arresting and available on a voluntary basis.

One thing to possibly do is to seperate the badge from the avatar, and half the width of it.

Code it to be above or below the avatar.
