We understand change isn't always easy but it's necessary to keep the site secure and maintainable. We are using the same platform (VBulletin). The changes you see are the differences between version 3.8.7 and 4.2.2. It's a big jump, that's how out of date our forum software really was. I don't like every new feature or change in 4.2.2 but there were quite a few things about 3.8.7 that were really bad. The only difference is we were just used to dealing with those "features".
Thanks for this TallPaul. It's a great help for the community.
This is part of the reason we don't have a whole bunch of themes. Each theme we add requires initial modification, and must be updated each time we make certain layout changes. This all takes time. We're working on a high contrast theme for sight impaired. I might try to add some larger buttons depending on feedback and time. MAY. If anyone is willing to donate time customizing themes it would speed up the process and free us up to work on other tasks. I will float this idea with the rest of the moderation team. I'm not making promises.

They are talking about the space required by the avatars and equipment listings with the sig line starting below that.

Unfortunately, I didn't bother saving screen shots of the 'good old' forum pages, but you probably have some of those in your computer files for comparison...(???)
My recollection is that the 'user data' sidebar was much more compact in the older version, without the blank lines before and after each item...perhaps a font/spacing/format change would help?
The sigs aren't generating the blank space; it's the inability of the software to put the sig beside the user data sidebar that causes the blanks....but you can see that.
I understand, I really do, just gotta let a me be me for a while, sorry, this is part of my adjustment process . In the future can you guys update along with the updates, so that it's not such a huge change? Thanks octothorpesarus. It does not mean I'm not going to gripe a few more times. ......just saying.
Just for fun, here's a comparison of the standard view (LEFT) vs. VB4 Default (MIDDLE)(which has no equip info by default) vs. VB4 Default with no signatures (RIGHT).
It doesn't compare the new site to the old, but you can definitely see the difference adding the equipment info makes.
Every Day Above Ground is a Good Day.
