Profiles on Left or Right

[Pastor Matt]

If you are worried about the username text being too small, just click the "A" above the logout button in the top right.

That is our senior citizen button. :haha

Now you're making fun of me. :lol:

I'll play the other side here. :lol

Since we read left t o right, it actually makes more sense being on the right. The profile content is not the reason you clicked the thread.

Since we read left to right, you start out with the thread you clicked. The first thing you see is the thread. That way reading from left to right, you get the content of the post rather than the profile information. So with the theory we read right to left actually works against those of you that want it on the left. :lol Having profiles on the right puts the main focus on the thread to be read.

It more is a matter of what we are used to, and I am not against moving it back to the left. Do you actually read all the profile information before you read the thread.

Again, for the flipside... :frog


It is like a letterhead. Most letterheads are at the top or on the left. It is the beginning point of the post. It tells us who wrote it before we start reading.

Now, that's not funny! Every year my optometrist seems to take undue delight in asking me if I need reading glasses yet...since I'm hitting so close to 40 and all.

Otherwise, put it on the right. It causes some disconnect when I'm reading and hit the user profile before the post is done. It doesn't happen when it's on the left.

As of right now I plan on moving the profile over to the left. In the future I might add an option in the UCP for members to move it over to the right or left.


I hope nobody thinks I am really serious about this, I just like playing the opposite side sometimes.

[Bakershalfdozen]

No worries; we know you are ornery! :lol:

[Pastor Matt]

True, it is amazing that you all have put up with me. :Bleh

[Guest Guest]

BroMatt, you really should post more often! I think it adds so much to a board when the administrator likes to have a good laugh and mess around sometimes... while being serious when necessary. :Green

This topic is awesome...lol.

(I am growing to like the profile on the right thing though...)

[Pastor Matt]

My schedule eases up a little now so may see more of me in the next couple months. So watch out. :B

The profile thing grows on ya, so watch out.

[Guest Guest]

BroMatt, you said "watch out" twice in that post... hmm..... :Bleh

[Pastor Matt]

I just wanted to be clear on that. :make:

Can't believe I missed this thread!

Probably has something to do with the new format, especially having the profiles on the right....

Luckily I got in my vote...looks like the lefties rule on this one.... I've tried to be patient and "get used to it" but I find myself scanning for the "little username on the left" before (or while) I'm reading a post. As Kevin says, it makes a huge difference, knowing who posted.

I will say the little "online" banner is very cool looking...would look even better on the left. :clap:

[Pastor Matt]

Do not blame the missing of this thread on the new format. :B

Doggone I need to re cast my vote!
Reading is easier with the profile on the right, it just looks weird.
