Are we in a bad mood today ?Originally Posted by d-quik
With the horizontal avatars you could read everything much quicker. You could pretty much ignore them. Now when you read and you go down to the next post you tend to automatically "read" the avatar box. That's why it's a bad thing.
Like Jakg said: "the avatars "pull" my eyes up as i try to read something".
well that was a shock
Cedric - I sound like a chipmunk on there. Some friends of mine were like, "were you going through puberty?" I was like, no I was already 20, I just sound like a girl.
Haha, guys give yourself some time to get use to it, and our new avatars.
The Ace of All Aces.
Crysis. Maximum Game.
Still, its just opinion. It took me all of a minute to learn to scan over the avatar box.Originally Posted by Lagonda
All in all i think that this change is really good. The site looks exceptionally good.
Thanks for bringing back the newly added cars to the main forum page. The new layout looks nice aswell.Originally Posted by Wouter Melissen
I agree. A one line post with one pic attached and one of those new "big" avatars, looks really terrible now. Unfortunately I also agree that our voices will probably be silenced.Originally Posted by Lagonda
It's not about opposing change in my case, I like improvements. It's taking a step backwards that feels silly. The update brought many improvements, but unfortunately made the forums take a step towards those pics-in-sigs sites. But ofcourse one can get used to anything.Originally Posted by henk4
Although, if there would be an option to make the forum look like the "Topic Review" it would be nice (pic attached) afterall, I'd like to think most people come here to read what people have to say instead of looking at avatars and signatures...
Good question. I don't think it would've made a difference in my case, since I got attached to the site before I ever visited the forums... but I remember I always thought it was a really neat looking site in all ways. Nevertheless, if "the old UCP" would've had a link to one of these threads saying it was a new car site, no, my first impression wouldn't be very good. The main site is a totally different story It was brilliant then and even better now!Originally Posted by henk4
edit:
also are new members now allowed to have symbols in their names?

so this is what ou were MSNing me about...Originally Posted by NuclearCrap
I have to admit that I like the layout that you constructed. It gives rise to the question: Do we need avatars in the first place? (to be honest I had no clue what an avatar was in the context of a forum ). Apparently people like avatars so there needs to be a place for them. Thinking along those lines (and please note that these are MY private thoughts) you might ask the question what do we need to see apart from the user name? I can imagine a function whereby with one click on the user name you will get a little pop-up showing all the info that is now permanently displayed.
The horizontal layout of the user data has also created the option to post six thumbnails of attached pictures in one row, in stead of four so far.

In all honesty....I preffered the old forum.
the aim of an avatar is to identify people easier thanks to the images theu're associated with, that's why they shouldn't be changed too oftenOriginally Posted by henk4
i don't say the new layout is worse only because it's new, i remember there used to be a similar layout for few days some time ago, didn't like it then as well. i think it's not the most important thing who posts what, and it's less functional skipping people's names and avatars between reading posts

To be honest, I identify users from their names, not their avatars. I can list quite a few user names, but I would probably be able to list one or two corresponding avatarsOriginally Posted by dydzi
This may also have to do with the fact that I use email notification for new posts, which mentions who posted what, without showing the avatar.

I love the new layout really brings out the page, makes it more fun for me.
