[Informational] Quotes with avatars. Like? Hate? Tell me!

[Dave]

Yes, I know quotes are kinda messed up right now. Adding something that looks cool. Working on it.

 

[strawman]

Sweet. I like it.

Yeah, something like this.

It's a lot of margin on the right, but since we don't make nested quotes easy, I suppose it doesn't matter.

 

[Espy]

Trippy.

 

[Dave]

Turns out I had messed up the .cc file for everything but the default look. Only one I haven't updated is Dragor, which I don't care about. Sorry, Jay.

 

[makare]

It looks really busy now.

 

[Dave]

It looks really busy now.

It's very easy to undo. I'm seriously thinking of removing it from the minimalist theme.

What does everyone else think of it? Nested quotes do look busy I agree. But we don't use them all that much. Nothing like we used to.

 

[Espy]

It does look busy, but I kind of like it. I think the confusing thing is that the persons avatar is in the other person quote, which is weird.

 

[Espy]

If I can get some actual free time I will make a proper dark theme for Xen. I kinda want one myself so it's win/win!

I would love a dark theme that didn't look like a dragon pooped on my screen. I will personally poop in the shoes of someone you hate if you do make a nice slick dark theme for ma' poor eyes.

 

[strawman]

I like it. Few people ever bother with nested quotes, so I don't think it'll be an issue.

The thing for me is that I associate with people's avatars more than with their name, so reading through a busy thread seems a bit easier to follow.

 

[Espy]

Hate/Love. Whatever. Either way, I'm gonna poop in their shoes!

 

[Dave]

It doesn't support gravatar.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Honestly, I'm not liking the pictures in the quotes, but I'm not gonna make a fuss about it.

^^^--- How appropriate.

 

[makare]

I can live with it too I can just adblock avs so no big I guess.

 

[strawman]

Although if they start to display on separate lines like they are now on the minimal theme, then I'm going to engage my whine and complain engines and set throttle to maximum.

 

[Krisken]

Going to?

 

[Dave]

Minimal fixed.

 

[makare]

that bottom one is much better

 

[Espy]

that bottom one is much better

Agreed.

 

[Hailey Knight]

I like that better.

 

[makare]

Adammon's avatar now looks like he is yelling at other people's avatars.. and that amuses me.

 

[strawman]

It seems too small to be useful. But I'm on minimal, so it don't matter none, son.

 

[Dave]

From Brogan on XenForo.com:

I explored that option, but the avatar was so small it didn't work very well.

I tried it with the 48px small avatar and it made the attribution row too wide.

 

[makare]

aw

 

[Silver Jelly]

While i't kinda neat the first time you see it, I think it quickly becomes a little confusing.

^^^^--- Confused face...

 

[Hailey Knight]

And steinman's gonna keep doing that.

 

[Gusto]

If anyone's avatar portrays confusion, it's mine.

 

[Silver Jelly]

:_(

 

[Dave]

Does it?

 

[Gusto]

Whoa, weird, when you quote me, it shows my secondary avatar, with the scumbag hat.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

Isn't Gusto's current avatar.
Shows up anyway.

 

[MindDetective]

After some thought, I like them, but I would like the regular avatars differentiated a bit with a stronger border around them.

 

[figmentPez]

If anyone's avatar portrays confusion, it's mine.

I am shocked to hear you say that.

 

[drifter]

No sir, I don't like it.
