Ok, I'm compulsive about some things. I'm looking at the new 3.0, and I notice that each reply shows this HUGE amount of space between the post/separation/signature and the bottom of that response. Why SO much space in 3.0?

There is a considerable amount of white space there. I'm not sure why, possibly due to the additions of the user options button? We'll have to take a look.

actually its more about the aligning of the option buttons then anything else.. there was not really a more elegant way to accomplish locking the options to the bottom because everytime we tried something the alpha testers hated it

I really hate to say this, but I won't upgrade with 'that' much space there. It looks like someone's added spaces to their signature to stretch their posts.

Sure there's NO WAY to stop it??

I'm bringing this up with Josh and the others to see if we can't possibly do something in that respect. I really won't delay the upgrade for that, as there are other features of 3.0 that are certainly worth looking at. Just hang in there and I'll try and keep you updated as much as I can.

Hmmm I'm 1024 x 768 on a 17" monitor and there's 1½ if you don't have a signature and 2" of 'empty space' if you do have a signature.

Im sure some folks won't mind it.... yes, every label in my cupboards/closets faces front, all my hangers are the same color and face the same way.

there is a way to stop it and you can remove the spaces but the bottom button bar is gonna float and not be aligned on the bottom. So if thats not a problem for you then go into the templates/fusionbb/showtopic_p_row.php and look for <br /> and take out all the ones that are grouped..


heres how it use to look...



And then during the 3.0 build I tried everything.. including placing it under and no one liked it



and everyone said put it back to how it was.. so we did..

now people say other software does it





so if anyone can come up with a better idea on how to do it with the showtopic_p_row.php template file so that everyone likes it I am sure Josh will use it...

v2.2, I've got about ½" between the last bit of text or even the signature line.. and the bottom button bar.

I can't wait for v3, and now it's 1½ - 2".

Frankly, I don't care what 'other' software does. I see no purpose to 'extra' space and it doesn't look smooth/professional as 2.2 does.

    In response to kestral

then use the 2.2 showtopic_p_row.php row and just make sure to add the variables that were added with 3.0 and the top one is from 2.2~2.3

I have an issue with the 'user options' button due to the fact that if you click it instead of just hovering over it you get shot to the top of the thread.

If we're getting all this dead space just to accommodate the drop-down box would it not be possible to make it a clickable button with a drop-down menu that renders on top of anything beneath it in the same way some of the buttons do on the nav bar such as 'My Fusion'?

That white space has got to be a PIA if you have a small screen.

If we've got to have that button I like it where it is - I seem to remember it was over on the right somewhere in one of the beta's & just looked wrong.

It's not because of the user options, but because of the post option buttons in the lower right hand corner, is what CT is explaining.

I see now!

I couldn't find an any instances of that button float problem on my 2.3 install although I did manage to recreate it on a test post. I have to say I never noticed it before.

I think I'd rather stick to the rare float occurrence than the dead space in every post.

what about moving the buttons to the top?

Asking now if the extra space issue has been resolved in some way.

I'm back from vacations and 'stuff' and would like to upgrade to the newest version BUT the space issue MUST be cleared up before I'll upgrade.

We have not yet decided whether this will be changed or not.

If it is changed it will not be changed until a future version as we do not port changes into previous or currently released versions (with the exception of any security fixes).

I agree. I've loved Fusion from day one (still do), but graphically, the space is a step backwards. I can hear my members saying, "What happened, the layout is screwed up". VBG
