Forum ergonomics

1. Reduce overall postheight to make threads more compact and easier to read.

Spoiler: visual description

Spoiler: code example/suggestion

Code:

instead of
postheight = info + sig

i suggest to change it to something like this:

if(textarea <= info) {
   if(textarea + sig > info)
      postheight = textarea + sig;
   else
      postheight = info;
} else 
      postheight = textarea + sig;

Spoiler: example of reduced post

2. Disable autoplay function for mixpod.

 

1.- maybe ...

2.- you can do that but going to Settings > My Settings > My Profile > Mixpod Playlist.

 

i meant disable it completely or add an option in settings to disable mixpod's autoplay function in profiles of other members.

p.s. sig restriction does not always work (oversized sigs are shown sometimes).
As optional solution: if (sigsize > limit) sigsize = limit; and disable sliders so only part of oversized sig will be shown.

 

this should make the thread faster to open when browsing

 

it does, if there's an oversized signature, after someone read any of their posts the forum will check his sig and add the message to it.

not at all. if you create a document with thousands of break lines and another one with 1 they will load at same speed, it's blank space.

 

ok. Example from another forum of hardcapped sig size (check image info).

Edit:
signatures are shown after post edit (own sig) or new post (all sigs in thread) until you refresh the page.

 

making everything so compact will make the forum look untidy and harder to read. postbit is file as it is now.

 

making forum compact makes it easier to read (depends on sig size limitation and size of memberinfo shown in left part of post (should be adjustable in settings imo)).

 

does that mean that we can put picture with height up to 250px in sig?

 

Yeah but then you can't have any text.

 

but

thats why i'm asking... (still there is a workaround to that forum rule ^^).

 

NO, you need to follow the rules. max image height is 200 px. Max signature height ( image + text ) is 250 px.
