Avatars

Modessitt

Well, most people don't bother putting anything next to the little page icon... I suppose you could indicate who you're talking to that way.

You have to bypass the quick reply option to do it, though.
 
The scroll thing would be as much of an issue if the title/avatar bar was aligned to the left of the screen like every other forum on the 'innernets'.
You mean except for other vBulletin forums? Which there are MANY. Although there are skins/themes that could be used to do this very thing (much like the Neo forums). Here's hoping that we'll have some alternatives someday.

I'm just a bit bummed that it no longer shows WHO I'm replying to if I use the quick reply and don't want to quote....
You know what was even more awesomer back before you started posting here? This forum and the last one both use a "favorite" or "subscription" method of sending emails to you if a new post is posted in a thread that you have marked as such. But the OLD-old forum actually let you set it up so that you'd only get emails if someone actually hit the reply button on your post. So yeah, you might not see the reply if someone was replying to you and pressed a reply button on another post, but it sort of encouraged people to actually use the reply function in the proper way.
 
We have not made a final decision about avatar sizes (80x80 or 100x100) and we are still getting familiar with this system (as time permits), but for the time being, all the super-large avatars should be shrunk back down to 100x100....
 
Maybe this is dumb, but instead of worrying about which avatar size to go with, can you make it a user decision? So, in the user CP, they can select the max avatar size?

Personally, I don't care, since I turned Av's & sigs off. If we get the format to the username/av/stats on the left with the message on the right, then the av size might be turned back on, at which point I may care....
