Description

There is a lot of whitespace with posts with the new theme.

It all comes from the messageUserInfo sidebox being a lot higher.

If we can come up with a tweaked design to reduce the size, I think it would make things a lot more usable.

Just a quick demo. I just nuked the additional text.

If we could come up with a tweaked design to show the info maybe horizontally or whatever.

Before

After

Would second this. The info should be displayed horizontally (same as old forum) to kill off white space. It would also help with post separation and visibility issues

Changed to horizontal, as per old forum, definitely cleans up some white space.

hmm, I can't see it. Theme change required or is it just a cache problem?

That's it

Only other suggestion would be more of a contrast between the areas now. The title should be a little darker, same with the info panel.

But otherwise, spot on

I think it looked prettier before, but this is much more usable.

Case closed! :-D

Re colours, what about

.messageUserBlock .extraUserInfo {
nuke the font-size
nuke the background-color
}

.messageUserBlock {
change background to #e8e8e8
}

Click to expand...

Looks a bit big and uggo, but more like old theme and large enough to read (should scale fine for different resolutions). then ask for ideas from the ui peeps.
