of course it is. When I first turned up, it only had one post on each thread visible, and I had to click up the top to get new ones. I think that has changed. The main thing that makes it difficult is the useless space everywhere. This is probably a theme/css issue, but there is useless space that could be used to make it easier to browse. For example, look at the space between this post and the quick reply box.

I know it is no good just saying "I don't like it" and wondering why there is no chance :), but I think that in time, we will get used to it. I hope that we will see this look more like the rest of the site, not vice versa. The rest of the site looks awesome, this looks like a forum theme (with good reason too!).

Well, the changes to the theme that have been made so far are already making the place look nicer. And altering the position of the user info so it's down the side again - can't think why the default is above the post, it just clutters up too much!

This might be just me being slow, but I couldn't find an option to edit a post I made a few weeks back... The options wasn't in the 'thread' options in the bar at the top of the thread, nor could I find an icon?

Slap me if I am being dumb here ;)

IIRC, vBulletin only allows you to edit your posts for a limited amount of time - if it was made a while back it may not allow you to do it.

It could also be related to changing across to the new system, it might not let you edit posts from before the change.

Looks like that is the case, since the post I made on here has an edit button. That sucks slightly, because now I can't edit my original help wanted post. Damn new board also changed my icon on that post to a thumbs down... Maybe it knows something I don't!

Editing is disallowed after 24 hours from the post (except for mods). This is mainly to prevent people from modifying a thread and causing the rest of the discussion to be inconsistent. This can be disabled though.

SpreeTree: If you want, you could post a follow-up on your help-wanted thread. Would that work?

I's just added a new reply with the new information, and since the links always go to the last post anywa, thats cool. It's not a problem, this is the first post I have ever made that I have wanted to edit after 5 minutes anyway.

for the ones requesting for smaller spaces between to get more space for the actual content:

get a notebook with 1400x1050 res :D or a screen with something like that, or bigger :D then, it's no issue anymore, hehe..

but for real.. yes, removing a bit of useless space is always useful :D

BTW, Thanks TrueVision 3d :) (I said this in the private forum last time, duh /me)

Yeah, W00t for TV3D. My monitor on the other hand... only supports 1024x768. It was hardly worth buying that 6600GT. Oh well. Maybe I can get some money some day :).

One thing I like though, is the lack of loading time once you post, edit and all that jazz. I could get used to this forum.
