Quote and reply buttons. Wrong

First basic rule of interface design especially on widescreen PC - don't put action buttons over on the left, it's the least conspicuous part of the screen. Fail. Makes sense on iPad, etc, to limit need for vertical scrolling. So, read the browser object generated by your server & make it conditional on what is making the request. GUI design 101 chaps, come on.

If the Report, Ignore and send PM buttons would be on the left, I would see the purpose of the change in less scrolling. But I guess the designer of this forum wants to remind us for now to use Report and Ignore buttons.

Daisy: Where's the self destruct button? ask Socratese and Trener..they know where it is....

OK, now the orphaned send pm button has gone over to join them in the grey zone out of eyeshot on the LHS of the page. Still sucks on the desktop. For the same reasons I gave at the top of the thread. It would work if that button group was over on the right side - and would probably still play well with iPad users, etc, too. Come on, chaps, this should have been a quick and easy win.

A few days away from PF and I found changes again. It's OK, not a big deal, but I'd rather see Avatars insead. I wonder what I find next time I log in...the self destruct button sounds good.

Very well thanks Mr w6 and 8. How's the subject of life treating you?

I'm on the eve of something extraordinary and deliriously dull... I've moved towns and acquired new neighbours!

I could have really done with some help from you blokes too you know. :S

But no, what do you guys do? Fiddle with the switches on the already user friendly web page...

Typical! ;D

puella: what html code do you use to make that trick? That trick is beyond HTML or CSS code. Special characters is the thing. Get yours here: http://www.sevenwires.com/play/UpsideDownLetters.html
