It bugged me for about a day, but now I don't even notice the bar way over there.

It's great, isn't it? I only look over there for the forum watch now.

Well, I mean it bugged me that the bar was in a different place than before. The contents of the bar never bugged me. (I block ads so I never see them anyway.)

It was a nasty shock and it'll take me a few more days to recover from the scar.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have been meaning to install that for a while now.

When you click on a username, you get the preview on the left-hand side. How about you add our own info under the forum watch list and every time a username, you replace it with that person's info?

I dunno. The mini-profile thing is kinda nice...but (1) it's a huge load on the server (according to Chris) and (2) it's not really sanctioned right now...so we haven't actively developed it. I don't like the idea of replacing content over in the left hand nav bar though.

Personally, i hate the left side margin. I'd much prefer it was on the right. That said, if i ever got the energy to actually move it, i'd probably make it fixed as well (ad + forum watches + whatever).

But i don't care to move the mini-bio any further; personally, i liked it best in the post... but failing that, i should really come up with some sort of positioning algorithm that keeps it near the user's post but more or less out of the way... the current position is just laziness.

You mean you want the entirety of the left hand bar over on the right? Wow. I'm trying to think about what that would look like...

It's easier to just swap the columns and look at the result. Here's a hint: it looks goood...

Actually...I kinda like having the nav bar over there. It kinda works. It also totally eliminates the problems I've had with horizontal scrolling on Fx trunk. So I'm happy.

Nice. It also means I can read first without having to look at the menus and ads. It's like the bicycle, why did the older ones have a big wheel and a little wheel, when having them the same size is much easier.

Because they didn't have gears. D'Oh! | :doh:

Right, but not on those bikes. I don't know why they didn't use gears, but they had that big wheel because they didn't use gears. Maybe the system architect in charge of bike design mandated gearless technology.
