This is why using divs for tabular data is stupid (Template error)

You end up with cross-compatible stupidity like this:

I was gonna say something about this but thought it was just being too picky. :P

I think that forum view would be good if it didn't have all that wasted space. The sig should start immediately below the post text regardless of where the post-bit ends. As it is I think it looks horrible and the post text itself is just in a sort of giant space of no-man's land lol

[The Professor]

Call me mental but I like it how it is. I've seen forums where the sig is right up next to the avatar and it just looks wrong. A signature should be at the bottom, under everything else in the post. Maybe I've just been using this forum too long :P

[Black_Apalachi]

Hmm, you may be right but it should at least span all the way across (under the post-bit).

That's interesting... I'd have to see it to know.

I am not a fan of that at all.

[Black_Apalachi]

I think that's better than the current set-up

too much blank space around the edges, and anything not centered will appear under the postbit rather than the post.

something like this obviously with better colours + padding etc

[The Professor]

I prefer the mockup and what we have now to jewbear's mockup. Maybe you should do a poll?

[Kieran]

It's better as it is compared to those mockups.

[Black_Apalachi]

That's what I was imagining originally.

There's less blank space than there is now! :P

[Aidenn]

i prefer it as it is.

it shoul be below the post, not below the whole content. so JBs second mock up. And it is possible afaik. maybe you should trial it on one of the skins?

Agreed with kk. and JB.

it is actually one reason why i dont have an avatar/signature myself. It makes pages way to long to scroll up and down imho. I imagine it adds A LOT of space onto the page, which just isnt needed

Yeah I was thinking the vertical post-bit view only looks good with a small avatar or none at all.

That looks ridiculous, the sig space due to your short post is like 10 times bigger than the post space

[Black_Apalachi]

You could do what JB has done but set a minimum size for the post space so that it's never minuscule (like in the image) but it can also stretch when necessary to accommodate longer posts. At least I imagine that would be possible?

THATS why I don't like it :P I couldn't put my finger on it (A)
