The big space is there because of all the other info like your location, join date, avatar, etc. You'd have to scroll just as much whether it's aligned to the top or bottom.
I didn't mean to imply that is what you were suggesting, but I have been on message boards where they did the same thing and it did create a rift between members.
Premium members getting less ads and more storage is invisible to everyone else that doens't pay. So in that respect it is different.
It reads a hell of a lot easier imo...
The sentences would be further apart so it doesnt seem like its one big mass of words.
I really think the older format was easier on the eye and the only difference now is that we have slightly bigger avatars right?
I couldnt care less about sigs and avatars and someones location.
I just want to read crap about biking in a way that doesnt make my head hurt.
So my eye naturally goes to the middle of the field, as dictated by the placement of the avatar. Unfortunately, that's where the signature is on short posts. I keep reading sigs thinking they're thread content and getting confused.
I think vertical-center-justifying or going back to the other format or getting rid of sigs would fix it, but it is bugging me now.
I think if the background for the sig was a different color or something it would be easier to tell the difference between a post and a sig. Right now it is a bit jumbled for my tastes.
No, not at all. To me the posts look $hitty since the changes. It's not an issue of how much I have to scroll, more of an asthetics thing. It's not easy on the eyes.

I agree. It seems more content and LARGER content has been added to the left column therefore making the excess space on the right more prevalent (sp?). Also, the characters in messages are much closer together and like others have said, making it much more difficult to read. On top of that, the transparent post-title-box is very hard onthe eyes and not appealing at all.
As far as signatures, I know mine's a bit "long" especially in this newer format, but I don't think we should limit or even get rid of them. It seems that most are very reasonable in length with a few links and a quote in them. If somebody has one that is atrocious then simply ask them to shorten it.
btw, i think the quick reply/refresh isn't working as good as pre-changes. my window just hangs there sometimes and i'm sure if the post registered or not.
I'd say yes to the 100 char. limit except that makes it impossible to have a couple of hyperlinks in your sig. Hyperlinks to sponsors or items in the classifieds work great and look clean IMO. How about limiting the text size to 1 instead or some other alternative.

When I made the first one, it hung for quite awhile and then logged me out. I logged back in 30 seconds later, and must have then created the double post. Not sure why they would be so far apart.
