Oh yea, I still remeber the ol' days of spamming to become a new rank. Don't need that again.

Glad you guys like them

You already have user titles that semi show the post counts of users so we won't do any informicons for that. However I think we may be doing informicons for Veteran forum members.

I personaly liked the Post count bars

Hamma · 2006-02-21, 11:02 PM

The battle rank deals?

Rbstr · 2006-02-21, 11:07 PM

yeah

Hamma · 2006-02-21, 11:17 PM

Yea those are still around in the admin - they were quite a pain to maintain though. May bring them back will see

Personally I kinda preferred the informicons under the username the way they were earlier today. That way all user info is contained in one specific area. When they moved I thought they were gone at first.

I felt that way too, but Hamma brought out a good point, that area does seem to get cluddered with everything.

EDIT: An other thing I noticed was the sigs are gone. I don't really care because I don't use a sig. I've become so used to recognizing everyone's sigs I hardly looked at the left area with the name and other info. I for one kind of like the idea of everyone with unique avatars to quickly identify who made the post rather than a sig.

Sigs are not gone, are you sure you didn't turn them off in your user cp?

OneManArmy · 2006-02-22, 02:51 AM

much better.

I don't see how the user area was cluttered, hell still had a nice large space under the main stuff to use.

See when you read a post (on damn near every forum) the poster's info is on the left, then their sig is at the bottom. I think having those icons off to the right is just like ignoring them.

I did like the idea of looking at an avatar, and seeing everything about the person, not checking multiple spots.

Hamma · 2006-02-22, 08:09 AM

The user area was cluttered until I removed a bunch of information that can be obtained by viewing someone's profile anyway yesterday. As Gryph said we will probably still tweak things - we have all been working on about 20 different projects at once recently

And Ivan the sigs aren't gone..

Try this to see how it looks.

Have everything in the user panel (avatar section) centered, including the avatar space, name, description, and Icons. I guarantee you it will look better.
