So I've been looking over the post-display style of cB and comparing it to other forums and discussion-thread-type sites I frequent, and I think it could use an "upgrade". Admittedly, I am a bit of minimalist when it comes to design, but I'm inclined to think that the post display style of cB is a bit busy, and could stand to be cleaned up a little.
First of all, post count. I think we should get rid of post count, or at least the display of post counts. People are too obsessed with their post counts, which don't even reveal much about a user, except for how much crap they post. So let's just get rid of it. Secondly, extra user info like custom rank, group, joined date, location, member no., and status. Shove that stuff to the user info page display, or iconify some of it. Basically, on posts, just display an avatar, username, and post date and time. Save the extra info for the user page, or get rid of it entirely. If status is deemed to be important, iconify it along with the post. Iconify "rankings" like moderator and admin, too. Give them a little badge next to their name. |

Ah, I think I'm just weird cuz I always enjoy looking at the whole post count thing. I think it makes it pretty fun, seeing how many posts the other person has. And the joined date, status, member number and all that, I found really nice to just have there without searching for it on their profile page. I dunno, i thought it gave a mini-preview to that person with just a simple glance, without having to dig really deep to see how old or new of a member that person is.
And the whole post count thing, I dunno, I always thought it inspired people to post more, atleast on an unconscious level. I think it works, and I like the Group member titles as well. Though an icon next to admins or mods or something does sound cute, i think that would be a nice touch. I dunno, I think how it is set up now works pretty well. Small details that make CB more fun. Atleast to me. |
