Not a fan of the new post layout. Having the name and the time in the gray bar above the post is weird. It's graphically frustrating.

Quoted from TheLaw:Sure it's not done yet. They wouldn't leave it looking this horrible.
I hope that's true. This new format is no bueno. Actually makes reading it on an iPad difficult. Some significant white space and the grey bar feels like things are shifted a table cell or something.
Quoted from robin:There was a lot of discussion about this and opinions were scattered so I decided to go live with this (instead of going back to the drawing board and spending another day or multiple days getting it right). I will evaluate feedback on the earthquake view, as mof calls it, and we'll see where that takes us
I think overall the changes are positive, but could be taken that last step if the data for the post were inside the lighter colored block and didn't rise above it. Maybe if you just tweaked the background color of the elements above the postouter div class to the same as the postouter div, it might improve the feel?
I should add that I'm VERY happy the moving bar at the top is back. That was really annoying having to scroll up to go back to the forums page.
The recent iOS update hides the back and forward buttons on the browser on the ipad unless you are at the top of the page or pull them down.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:That was one of the variations I worked with. But I dismissed it as dull and uninspired
I quickly dug it up for you, here's a screenshot.Screen Shot 2015-05-30 at 01.26.47 .png
Ohhh, I think that is way better.
I don't need the background of the forum to be lively and entertaining, the posts already cover that.
Quoted from Aurich:What if you took that idea, and just extended it more the left, and kept the user icon shift? Quick and dirty mockup:

I like that too. As long as the "post block" includes all of the data and it visually stands off of the background as one piece my eyes will be happy.
Quoted from PoMC:Glad to see the ridiculous kharma points gone
When you click the pop bumper the pop-up screen got missed in the cleanup, it still says:
"Post scored 1000 base points
Posts with no thumbs score 1000 base points."
Quoted from epthegeek:People that fullscreen a web browser on a modern widescreen desktop baffle me. Of course it's going to look odd if you make it that big.
Why would I not fullscreen my browser? At work I have three monitors and typically run SQL Management Studio on the left, Visual Studio in the middle, and Chrome/docs on the right.
Quoted from aobrien5:What, specifically, is it that you don't like about the way it looks? Too much dead space? Fewer posts per page?
I don't care about the width. The "offset" posts are what bother me. Highlighted in red in the "current" pic. Fixed with my crappy photoshop skills in the second pic.
Quoted from robin:I have rolled out a bugfix release that should solve some issues reported after the last update.
Thank you so much for changing the style of the post boxes!!!!! My brain is much happier!
