I have changed the post view type from the XRU traditional horizontal viewing mode to the more forum-standard vertical mode. What are your thoughts? Obviously, there will need to be some additional changes to make it work exactly right (for instance, where the mod list is now showing up below the signatures - and also removing or relocating the left sidebar on post pages) but before I invest the time, I wanted to see what you all thought.

Whichever way you go is cool, I liked it the way it was before cause it kind of set us apart from other forums, but whichever way you go we will support it :top:

I liked the old way better. It is much easier to read posts with it the old way on my 13" macbook.

i really wanted to pick option 3...:laugh:

but i didn't want to risk it actually being permanently set to the typical forum lay out. i like XRU's layout over other forums.

Not a fan. I like the way it was originally, it seemed easier on the eyes too.

Doesn't matter much to me. Just like the other updates... not used to it yet, but with time, It'll be like it was always this way!

Just seems like a waste of space to have all that blank space if your mod list isn't that long...

To me it looks unfinished now. And I find it harder to read because my eyes have to go farther left and right.

I would change it back

I agree with the masses. I'd revert back. I also don't like how everyone's User info is a different width. Engineer talking, if it's not a perfect straight line it bugs me :rofl:

Horizontal.. It is what sets Xru apart from the rest and makes this place the best!

I have to admit, coming from from traditional formats I was a little thrown off with this forum's alignment at first. But I know you guys & gals have had it the other way and like it. So it looks like I will just have to adapt! LOL.

Thats what I was gonna say too, everything is kind of staggered at different spots. Plus, Its harder to read now on phones and tablets, before I could zoom in and go straight down and see usernames and posts, now I have to go left, right, and down to see who posted the one im reading.

So much for the "three lines" rule for Sigs, in the forum rules. Lol.

It definitely flowed better being horizonal.
