Slimy Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Merged (I personally think we should remove the Outline button or bury it in the profile page) Here's the reasoning you could use for doing such a thing: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=498889 I think people should pay more attention to what they click, but hey, that's just me.

Slimy Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 It really depends on how much trouble it would be for the developers. As well, I can still see people confused about the linear+ and standard views, but definitely not as much as with outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well, I can still see people confused about the linear+ and standard views, but definitely not as much as with outline. There is very little difference between Linear+ and Standard. Most people wouldn't even notice. You could hide/bury all three choices and leave everyone on Standard. While I use Linear+, I wouldn't cry to see the option gone. If it was moved to the profile page then I wouldn't cry at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I use Linear+ as well, but it often reverts to standard so I have to switch it back. There's always the options drop down menu I guess, and that is really hard to mis-click. If standard and linear+ were removed from view though, I could see members crying.

shockz Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I might as well unpin "My Topic View Looks funny" thread at the very top of this section... nobody ever looks at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted May 1, 2007 Veteran Share Posted May 1, 2007 I might as well unpin "My Topic View Looks funny" thread at the very top of this section... nobody ever looks at it. Alot of people dont read the stickies. Full Stop. Happened on another forum i used to work with, its easier in the end to just have no stickies, rather than keep saying "please see the damn sticky" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 That brings up an interesting question actually. How exactly do we know that the stickies aren't read? I mean, if someone reads it, fixes their problem, they don't exactly have a need to create a topic about how they fixed the issue thanks to the sticky. The sticky in question has 9,000 views :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h3xis Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Am I the only one that has this? I find it extremely annoying and wish it didn't do this.
