Template - usability: reverse time and username

[tindog]

Some members of my forum have reported repeated misclicks on the main page, because the links to the last post and the user's profile are too close to each other and difficult to parse as separate entities.

I could fix this by reversing the "by" + usernamelink with the datetime of the last post, so that the date now separates the two links. For sonsistency, I reversed the order both in the Board List and the Thread List.

I think it wold be good to have this the general default for those forum admins who can't code this themselves.

This might just make a really great plugin or template mod for people to have access to. You could suggest it in those boards.

For now we will keep it the way it is. It's actually almost identical to how it was in v4. Except we actually made them bigger. The biggest difference I can see is that in v4 wde did have an underline when you hovered over the links. So maybe people made less mistakes when they could see the underline and knew which link they were on.

To anyone having this problem you may just want to make links underline. It really is that simple.

tindog you could try that as well if you aren't happy with reordering the timestamp.

Sorry but we won't be adding this at this time.

Thank you.
