Suggestion: Username and Avatar to the Left of Posts
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2023 12:17 pm
This seems to be the first suggestion on the forum. I guess a separate suggestions section being added will depend on how frequent suggestions are posted on here, but this is an important one for me:
Could we please have the name, avatar, posts and join date section be on the left side of people's posts rather than on the right? Unless I missed something, that can't be changed by the user as an individual preference. I request this for two reasons:
1. Every forum I can remember visiting in the past had this information on the left, so it's really weirding me out to have it on the opposite side - I didn't even notice it was there at first!
2. There is a logic behind having it on the left, which is the logic of reading from left to right. I like to have the full information of who is posting what I'm about to read rather than see it at the other end of the post. The small and less identifiable 'posted by x' on the left side (which is usually on the right) doesn't really work for me.
I hope this is taken in the spirit of 'returning to a logical standard' rather than a weird nit pick by some kind of anorak.
