Formatting error?

I'm seeing everything squashed over into the lefthand margins! Checked on two browsers - Firefox and Vivaldi. Save us from being marginalized!!

I'll be standing by on the far left side of the room.

Re: Formatting error?

I saw the something changed (usually forum upgrade) before coming here to see if there was a thread. The user box is all different now.

Should be good now, although you may have to clear your cache for the site

Re: Formatting error?

I'm not seeing the squashed view, but it definitely looks different.

No sir, I don't like it.

I think it's because the username/title and avatar area is centered, instead of being left justified.

The username/title also used to be above the avatar and not bolded.
The column width is also wider, so you now see the number
for the liked posts on the same line as the number of likes.

Re: Formatting error?

I'm not a fan either of the new user box... feels like too much empty space. Almost like we should be allowed larger avatars.

Also the user box and 'following users liked' box no longer line up.

Thanks! I looked for old open tabs to see the previous format, but didn't have any.

No idea why they would change it, but it's definitely less aesthetically pleasing.

I think it's because it's wider --- as mentioned earlier,
it used to be the same width as the Liked Users box below it.

this left-hand thing is just terrible. It looks like there is something wrong.

Yeah, I logged in, saw that something looked different, and refreshed the page three times thinking it didn't load properly.

If this new formatting is a check box, please uncheck it

Re: Formatting error?

The format in general is just what it is, but at least for the Likes, a fix is coming

Re: Formatting error?

With some manual editing, I got the style to look similar to the old version, as per the sample etching provided.

This makes me think a browser extension might let me see the forum in the modified style. Of course, that doesn't help anyone else.

Re: Formatting error?

I am used to the new user box now and it's fine. Sure... I preferred the compactness of the previous one but mostly I hate change.
