Hello there,

As some of you may be hoping, we've been talking about the arrangement and content of the side profile in a user's post. So far, we've especially expanded on two things: A new online/offline indicator, and the placement of the custom title (yeah, it's coming baby)

Obviously, we need to decide what online offline indicator we prefer before we decide on the placement of the custom title. As with some of our previous changes and additions, we're letting you decide.

There are two options...

The online/offline banner that we currently have:

Image


And the new online/offline indicator:

Image


Basically with the new one,we just get rid of the banner image and add a "Status" section in the joined/posts/location/rsn/gender area. It would take up a lot less space, and make things look a little less crowded, which would be pretty ideal considering the soon-to-come addition of the custom title.

So those are your options, remember to vote in the poll!

Honestly, even if the image indicator looks nice, I think it takes up too much space.
So I vote text version.

Just to clarify, the custom title does not depend on whether or not we have a banner image or a text indicator for the online/offline thing -- We will be getting the custom title regardless of the outcome of this poll.

The text indicator.
The current one is too big and obnoxious, especially if we ever get custom titles back.

Runevillage the family is forever, no matter where we settle down. If absolutely nothing else ever comes of Runevillage in the future, that alone is a pretty damn awesome thought.

I could vote the old one for the sake of making it all easier for me (less work to do :P ) but I'm personally also in favour of the text version. Not that the image isn't nice, but it just takes up so much space and I fear it won't look very good with the Custom Title.

But again: the outcome of this hardly affects the Custom Title. It'll only affect the possibilities of where we place the custom title in the profile.

Shouldn't be a problem.

As far as this poll is concerned, it was only talking about the information shown next to a post anyway.
