Waste of Space

Lelisevis · Mar 3, 2007, 10:12 PM

No not me though im sure quite a few people have that opinion. This is related to post length. I've just noticed with the added PC spec slots it's added to an already huge amount of wasted space per post.
Let me explain and give an example: If I post a 1 answer reply to a topic just below that is my signature then below that it's blank for what must be 30 lines.

The solution: not sure if it's possible but could the spec lists be an expandable box maybe? Im not sure if it has any impact on DH's storage space or whether it just limits the posts per page.

Yeah, That would be an excellent idea...if its workable.

Edit: Kinda repeatin' somethin' I just typed in another post. Is there an option that allows you to view avatars, medals, post count and profile horizontally along the top of the post? That would save space. I'm sure I read somewhere in another DH thread that this is an option but now I can't find it...

Go to user CP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options -> User Post Info: Top

Thanks Roy. Unfortunately, doesn't provide a good solution. It increases the length of my post but keeps yours & Lelisevis about the same when viewing this thread.

It would be more space-saving if the OS, CPU, ... items were placed in one line and not on separate lines. There is a lot of wasted space with all the profile items in the current "Top" configuration.

But I wouldn't use "Top" configuration anyway, because when I'm reading a thread I want to read what people posted and not their profiles, if you understand what I mean...

Agreed - everything on top is annoying.

Maybe there could also be a 'bottom' option just for the system specs that would run horizontally below the sig if enabled by the user.

Just to add....I don't think that this a major thing that requires a solution (DH is great)....but obviously some of us moany old farts like something to whinge about....
