Yup… Adding a photo without any other content doesn’t work. It needs a space or other input in the text field, otherwise the Save/Preview buttons remain grayed out.
Things I’m missing:
1. I liked having the member location listed; this was helpful when assisting with locating sources for hardware. (eg., are you in the US? Buy from Mtn! Are you overseas? get free shipping from FastTech.)
2. A searchable list of threads participated in by each member. This was very helpful… (I recall Djozz started a thread yesterday but I didn’t subscribe, now I want to find that again… Also, this is extremely helpful in identifying Giveaway Spammers who aren’t contributing members and only join to get free stuff.)
3. The automatic subscription to threads I participate in of course…
4. The full list of Smileys in the drop-down box from the text editor…
Ah, I was wondering if anybody would notice. I believe I can put it back, but I was kind of thinking that it didn’t make a lot of sense to equate number of posts with “quality” or “reputation” of the user. Take me for example, I had 5 stars and yet I can barely insert a battery into a flashlight! (And let’s not even talk about threading lanyards into the little holes on the tailcap…)
Meanwhile don’t forget that you can just click on the user’s name and see their location if it’s filled in.
Hmm, I don’t really see it any different than the way it was before. I think it’s pretty much unavoidable given the author’s details that require a certain amount of vertical space for every post. But I wonder if you’re running into some kind of browser incompatibility. Here’s what it looks like for me on Firefox in fullscreen (15.4” hi-dpi): http://s18.postimg.org/mtr8qkgs9/Screenshot_from_2016_02_12_10_47_05.png
I noticed instantly! You had the special user rank of == The Administrator == iirc.
Is there any interesting user rank plugins perhaps? Attach rank to posts-per-day and we could have a rank based on lack of life outside of BLF!
I like the crazy eyed one too! Can we keep that one?
You know someone is going to miss all the dopey ones too.
Ok let me add that I really want the old subscription service back! It took me 10 minutes to find this thread again! LOL
Also, when I click on a user you can no longer see their created threads. I have now manually subscribed here. I keep forgetting I have to do that now. I don’t know if we need an auto subscribe just for looking but if I post in a thread I want to do the polite thing and respond to people especially if they’re saying something in response to what I’ve said so subscribing upon adding a comment would be great.
I checked your screenshot and that’s about how mine looks too. It’s probably just a result of the “big picture” effect of increasing the text size. It’s actually amount of vertical space for every post that’s taking up so much space now in my eyes. I was wondering if that space could be “coded” into less white. For example if I don’t post anything as a signature I don’t need those extra “X” amount of lines at the bottom of my replies. Could it only expand if there is something in there? A buddy of mine knows quite a bit about PHP coding so I can run it by him too. Maybe it’s just not reasonable to do. I didn’t think the text size needed increasing but I assume that’ not popular opinion since it was worked into this upgrade. It’s just my opinion so if everyone else likes it that’s fine. Whatever the final outcome I’m here for the long haul. You run a great site here my friend.
